Access your voicemail
What is voicemail? 
If someone phones your office number when you’re not available to answer, the caller can leave a voice message for you. UCT’s voicemail system stores the message and you can access it at your convenience later on.
How do you know that you've missed a call or that you have voicemail?
Missed calls
On your IP phone’s display, a text message will indicate missed call(s).
- Press
to see Missed Calls. - Scroll and select a missed call.
- Press
to select. Scroll down to see time of call. - Press Dial to call the number.
Voicemail
If the caller left a message, a red light will flash at the top of your phone. In Outlook, you will also receive an email notification of the missed call and voicemail.
Once you read this message, the voicemail will be marked as ‘read’.

Transcripts included
Whenever you receive a voicemail message in your email inbox, the audio file will be accompanied by a transcript of the voice message. The transcript is generated using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and as such, it may not be completely accurate. Various factors influence the technology's ability to pick up the caller's words – including how quickly the speaker talks, the type of language used (e.g. technical or unusual words), the caller's accent, and background noise.
As the technology evolves, we expect that the transcript accuracy will improve.
However, if you receive a transcript that concerns you, please inform us so that we can investigate.
