Retrieving Messages

You can retrieve the messages left for you by callers in one of two ways – online or over the telephone. The preferred method is online since there is no charge. If you retrieve your messages over the telephone, the time goes against your minutes.

If you have chosen to be notified of new messages via e-mail, the messages should have already been delivered to your e-mail address. Depending on your settings, messages that have been sent may be considered old, even if you have not retrieved them from your e-mail box. An important fact about e-mail delivery is that once the message is sent to you, it is no longer under our control so we can not guarantee you will get every message. It is a good idea to check online to verify you have received all your messages from time to time.
