Message Expiration
You can save messages for a predetermined amount of time.
1
An
announcement given after you save a message indicates how long the
message will be saved. When a message has been saved for the defined
period of time, you receive an announcement the next time you access your
PhoneMail messages
2
. This announcement tells you that the expired
message will be deleted when you hang up or end your PhoneMail session.
Expired messages are deleted automatically at the end of the session.
Depending on your COS, the save prompt may or may not be offered to you
after listening to a saved message. If the save prompt is offered and you
resave the message, the saved interval is not announced and the original
saved time is kept.
