When you subscribe to PennNet Phone, you can:

• Better manage your voice mail messages: Receive and check messages by phone or listen to your messages anywhere you have access to a web browser. Messages received in email are accessible as .wav audio file attachments.
  
  
• Be more accessible to callers: Manage call forward from anywhere you have access to a web browser.
  
  
• Save time: Manage your own voice mail passwords. You can change passwords and reset forgotten passwords without having to contact Networking & Telecommunication's Customer Service. Passwords are changed in real time.

• A Word About Support: Many organizations on campus have a staff member in their business office who coordinates (and is more familiar with processing) phone requests. You may want to ask this person to report any line problem(s).Working with a designated staff member is particularly helpful when more than one phone line in an area is without service.
