Call Answering works like an answering machine built into your telephone line. If your line is busy or unanswered after four rings, Call Answering will answer the call, play your personal greeting and ask the caller to leave a message in your mailbox. Student mailboxes have three minutes of storage. Old messages will be automatically deleted after one week. After a password is set up, you can retrieve messages from any touch tone telephone.
