This guide will assist you with setting up your Telesystem Voicemail to send you email notifications when you receive a new voicemail message. These same steps can be used for Fax Mail users. From your web browser, go to www.telesystem.us/account, then click on the Voicemail Portal link.
Setting Up Email Notifications
Sign into your voicemail box with your Account Number and PIN.
The account is the 10-digit phone number or 11-digit sub-mailbox number. The PIN is the same PIN used to access your voicemail box by telephone.
