Last column displays the message status: New - not played yet, Old - already played.

Step 3. Playing voice mail. Type in the VMPLAY ref_number command to play message number ref_number. If the number is correct, you will receive an incoming call from which you have to accept. Example: VMPLAY 3 will start playing voice message # 3.

Step 4. Sending voice mail. Type in VMSEND to send a voice mail message to the user id . If the user id is correct, you will receive an incoming call which you have to accept.

Step 4a. Sending voice mail. After you accepted the incoming call a beep signal is played and a message like "Dictate your voice message for after beep signal. Recording...". Now you can start dictating your message.

Step 4b. Sending voice mail. When you have finished, just hang up. An information message will be sent to your recipient (i.e. ), so he/she can play your voice mail the same way using the VMPLAY command.

Step 5. Deleting voice mail. Type in the VMDEL ref_number command to delete message number ref_number from your voice mail box. Example: VMDEL 3 will delete voice message # 3. No other action is required.

Please note, that...

  • You can send voice mail to the users who are not registered yet. In this case an invitation will be send to them.
  • A copy of each voice mail is sent via e-mail to the same user id, so if your recipient is not registered or not using GoogleTalk, he/she is still able to hear from you.
  • Every time you sign-in to GoogleTalk an information message will be displayed to you informing about new messages in your voice mail box. If no new voice mail messages are left unplayed, no information message is displayed.
  • Time is currently displayed according to GMT - Greenwich Mean Time.
  • All voice messages are limited to 120 secs long.
  • No limit for number of messages sent or stored is set.
