Voice Mail Cleanup

Do you have a regularly clear out of your voice mail messages? Recently we have come across several organisations where you are asked to leave a voice mail message and then get a message to say you can’t because the mail box is full! Make sure you have a procedure to ensure your staff do not hoard messages as you are taking up valuable space and voice mail message boxes, when full often bounce, or stop all new messages – the same applies to e-mail messages.

There seems to be a misconception here about what VoIP is and what it is not. VoIP is a replacement for your existing telecom provider, it can enable all the same functions of your existing system at a lower cost. If the existing processes are bad then no communication provider can fix it.
