WELCOME TO AUDIX

 

Your AUDIX voice messaging system is a complete call answering and voice mail system.


AUDIX answers your calls when you are unavailable or too busy to answer your phone. Callers can then leave messages in your voice "mailbox." Later, at a time convenient to you, you can access your mailbox to get those messages. 


AUDIX also lets you leave messages in the voice mail-boxes of other AUDIX user when they don't answer their phones.

VOICE MAIL

 

AUDIX also lets you record messages in advance and send the directly to the voice mailboxes of other AUDIX users without actually calling their phones.

 

Conversely, other users can record and send voice mail messages directly to your mailbox. When convenient, you can access your mailbox to get those messages.

Header: A summary of an incoming message (equivalent to return address and postmark on a letter). It includes the length of the message in minutes and/or seconds: "Message from John doe received 7:34 AM, Friday, April first, 70 seconds, extension 5050."


Address: A number or name specified for an outgoing message (equivalent to an address on a letter).


AUDIX Mailbox: Your personal storage area for incoming and outgoing messages (and headers). Your incoming and outgoing messages are stored in categories according to their status. The system keeps incoming messages until you delete them or until an automatic deletion date. Because space is limited, it is wise to regularly review and delete messages.


Incoming Messages (Received by you):

Unopened: Messages of which you have listened to the headers, but not the message itself. 

Old: Messages you have listened to but have not yet deleted.
Outgoing Messages (Sent by you):


Delivered: Messages that have been delivered but have not yet been listened to by the recipient. 

Accessed: Messages that have been delivered and listened to by the recipient.

Undelivered: Messages that have not yet been sent because you scheduled them for future delivery. You can listen to, re-address, and re-record these messages any time before delivery.

Nondeliverable: Messages that could not be delivered, usually because the intended recipient's mailbox is full. You can listen to, re-address, and re-record these messages.
Filed: Copies of outgoing messages that you saved to re-send and/or modify.
