Message Waiting Indicator
Message Waiting Indicator is provided as a stuttered or interrupted dial tone. When you lift the handset of your telephone subscribing to Voice Mail, you will hear a rapid dial tone (stuttered dial tone) if a new message has been received in your voice mailbox.
The stuttered dial will consist of 5 or 6 short tones. Outbound calls can be dialed when the stuttered dial tone ends. The stuttered dial tone will be eliminated once the new messages in your voice mail box have been retrieved.
If your telephone or other equipment attached to your phone line (such as a Caller ID unit) is equipped with a light or other visual indicator, MWI will also send a signal to your equipment to activate the light when a new message is received in your voice mail box. If a message is received while you are on the phone, the lamp will be illuminated when you disconnect the call.
