Voicemail Quick Reference Guide

Copper Valley Telecom migrated over to a new voicemail system for landline and wireless customers, on September 2nd, 2020. This change was necessary due to the previous voicemail system being at the end of its life. In addition, the transition put CVT one step closer to making the much-anticipated upgrade to VoLTE (Voice over Long Term Evolution), a higher quality, wireless communication system for mobile phones.

Dial 822-6245(MAIL) or 835-6245(MAIL) to access your mailbox.

The voicemail system is menu driven. Listen to the voice prompts and then press the keys on your phone to select which option you would like.

The first time you access your voicemail box you will be asked to set up your mailbox, and record your name and a greeting to be played by callers (see page 2). When you have one or more unheard voice messages waiting, your phone will display a solid red light on the top of the phone.
