You can manage voicemail and mailbox options for your MiCloud profile using the voicemail system. The voicemail system, which you access by dialing into the system, lets you manage your mailbox options by navigating through a series of audio prompts.
If you have an IP480, IP480g, IP485g, 6920, 6930, or 6940 phone, you can also manage voicemail for your MiCloud profile using visual voicemail. See Using Visual Voicemail for more information.
NOTE: Each user has a voicemail box capacity of 200 messages with a 10 minute per message maximum time limit.
Logging in to the Voicemail System
A steadily flashing red light in the upper right corner of your phone indicates that you have unheard messages. To hear your messages using the voicemail system, you must first log in to the voicemail system.
You can also log in to the voicemail system from another extension or from an external phone.
Logging in to Voicemail from Your Phone
- Do one of the following:
- Press #.
- Press the Voicemail button, and then press the Call VM soft key.
Your phone dials the voicemail system. - At the audio prompt, enter your password, and then press #.
NOTE: The first time you log into the voicemail system, you are prompted to record your name.
Logging in to Voicemail from Another Extension
You can log in to the voicemail system from another extension in your MiCloud system, whether it is an IP phone or an analog phone.

- At the password prompt, press # and then enter your extension.
NOTE: If you are using a phone that is in an “Available” or “Anonymous” state, the initial prompt directs you to enter your extension rather than a password, so you do not have to press # before entering your extension. - Enter your password, and then press #.
Logging in to Voicemail from an External Phone
Some users can log in to the voicemail system from a phone outside of the MiCloud phone system. If this option is not currently available for your MiCloud phone system and you would like to enable this option, please contact Support for assistance.
