Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK
1
Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK is a signal that activates a flashing
lamp on CLASS/FSK-capable telephone sets or adjunct display devices to indicate
you have a new message in your mailbox.
When using Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK on a CLASS-capable
telephone set or adjunct device, you will get both a flashing lamp and an interrupted dial tone for new messages in your mailbox.
Not all telephone sets or display devices are CLASS/FSK-compatible, even if they
use a flashing lamp to indicate a new message. (Example: Some telephone sets
can activate the message-waiting lamp via interrupted dial tone, while other
telephone sets work with a signal internal to the phone system.)
It is important that you know the specific technology associated with your telephone set, system or display device to determine compatibility with Visual
Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK. The user manual for your telephone set or
the equipment manufacturer’s help desk are the best sources for this information.
If you want a flashing lamp to alert you when you get a new message in your
mailbox, your Verizon Business Office can provide information regarding a CLASScapable telephone set, and Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK.
NOTE: Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK feature is not available in all
areas.
1
Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK can be added at no additional fee, except in California where a
monthly fee applies. If added after installation,additional installation fees apply. Contact your Verizon Business
Office for more information.
Wireless Notification
Only available with VerizonWireless phones. Not available in all areas. No charge for the feature but it requires
activation. Contact you local business office.
You can be notified on your Verizon Wireless digital cell phone when messages
are left in your mailbox. You will receive a text message, “Your have a voice mail
message at xxx-xxx-xxxx(your mailbox access number).” You will not be charged for
this feature or text message; however it does require activation. To order, please
call your local business office.
