If you are using a rotary phone, you cannot specify a
mailbox because every key entry is invalid. Wait a
moment until the VPS guides you to the General
Delivery Mailbox where you can leave your message.
The recorded messages will be delivered to your
intended party later. Callers who do not enter anything because they are unfamiliar with the VPS can
also leave messages in the same way.

vice.
