VoiceMail Access Numbers


Voicemail > Using VoiceMail

If you don't answer a call after a given time, which you can designate, the caller is redirected to your Voicemail service. The caller hears an announcement and is given the opportunity to leave a message. You can retrieve and listen to those messages when you choose. Aeneas VoiceMail offers you several advanced methods for listening to your messages. Use the one that's most convenient for you.

Accessing Voicemail Through Your Telephone Handset

To retreive your voicemail from your home, enter *98. Enter the last 4 digits of your phone number when prompted for your password. You will be able to change this password later.

There are two methods you can use to check your voicemail from another phone:

  • Dial your own phone number. When you hear your voicemail message begin, press *. You will be prompted to enter your password.
  • Dial one of these local access numbers. Then follow the same process with the prompts as you would follow from your home phone.

NOTE: If you are a copper telephone customer (meaning you do not have JEA fiber telephone service) you cannot use the *98 feature. You must dial a local access number to reach your Voicemail Inbox.

Once you enter your Voicemail Inbox, you will be given several options.

Option 0 - Mailbox Options
This option allows you to change:

  • the greeting a caller hears when your voicemail is activated
  • your mailbox password

The maxiumum length for your recorded greeting is 45 seconds.

Option 2 - Change Folders
This option allows you to decide where a message is stored.

All messages are stored in one of the following five folders: New, Archived, Friends, Work, and Family.
If you do not designate a folder, your old messages will be automatically saved to the archived folder.
You can save up to 15 messages.

Option 3 - Advanced Options
Choosing this option after listening to a new message allows you to listen to the "message envelope," which includes information about the message such as when the call was made, and by whom.
