Voicemail (Metaswitch)

Voicemail

Voicemail allows you to access your phone messages while you're in your business or away from work.

Standard voicemail from Midco Business includes a main greeting with several basic options to reach others. You and your employees can each have their own voicemail box with a unique greeting and password. Customize your greeting to let people know they’ve reached the right person.

Your business can further customize voicemail with eVOICE and several other features (which may vary by location).
