Hi! Well, I think the key word is patience. Smile
We tried various methods, including all of those offered by our wonderful,
knowledgeable Real-Eyes members, but I think it just took about five times
of plugging it in and unplugging it and then it just decided to work. It is
great. It doesn't sound any different than talking on our land line. Free
long distance is nice; people might hear from us more often now. However,
I'm not giving out the number. Actually, I've already forgotten it. This
should enable us to cut costs since we are dealing with California state
furlough days.
So how do we set up voice mail?
With a smile,
Karen

And, please tell us what you had to do to get it working, as we are very
very curious.
