Voicemail
Your MF279T comes with standard wireless voicemail. Follow the steps below to setup and use your
voicemail.
Setup
Dial 1 on any home phone connected to the MF279T and wait four (4) seconds to connect to your TELUS
wireless voicemail. Simply follow the voice prompts to complete setup. To enable remote voicemail
retrieval and for added security be sure to create a password during setup.
Message Waiting
There are two indicators for a new message waiting: 1) the voicemail icon; and 2) an intermittent dial
tone.
The voicemail icon on your MF279T blinks when a voicemail message is waiting. You will also hear
an intermittent dial tone on any connected phone handset before placing a call.
Retrieving Messages
To retrieve voice messages, dial 1 on any home phone connected to the MF279T and wait four (4)
seconds to connect to your TELUS wireless voicemail box. Simply follow the voice prompts to listen to
and manage your messages. (Alternately, you may dial your 10-digit home phone number to access your
voicemail box.)
Remote Retrieval
To retrieve voicemail messages from a phone not connected to the MF279T, dial the number associated
with your MF279T service. When voicemail picks up, press *. You will then be prompted to enter your
password. Simply follow the prompts to listen to and manage your voicemail messages.
Transferring a Phone Number
Transferring a landline phone number to your MF279T can take about four (4) days. Outgoing calls can
be made immediately using your MF279T, however incoming calls (including 911) will continue through
your old service until the transfer is complete. Keep a phone connected to your wall jack or prior service
to continue to receive incoming calls until the transfer is complete.
