Product Overview |
|
Wholesale Advantage Voice Mail Service is a voice messaging service that Verizon Partner Solutions offers in connection with lines ordered under a Wholesale Advantage agreement. To order this service, a CLEC's Wholesale Advantage Agreement must include Wholesale Advantage Voice Mail Service terms.
Wholesale Advantage Voice Mail Service enables the subscribing CLEC to provide its end users with Verizon central office-based voice mail. End users will have the ability to receive, store, and retrieve voice messages anytime, from any touch-tone phone, from their home, office or remotely,
without the need for additional equipment.
Wholesale Advantage Voice Mail Service answers an incoming call when the line is in use or when the end user cannot answer. In Verizon North, an interrupted dial tone indicates to the end user that a message is waiting in that end user's mailbox.
In Verizon South, an interupted dial tone, as well as a visual indication (provided the end user has compatible Customer Provided Equipment), will signal to the end user that a message is waiting in that end user's mailbox.
In Verizon West, a visual indication is available an an optional service and additional charges may be incurred.
For more information on Wholesale Advantage Voice Mail features and service types, please see the Wholesale Advantage Solutions Page.

RCF in New York and New England - When the RCF and the target numbers are in the same Central Office, the CLEC must order a mailbox on each line. If the RCF and the target numbers are in different Central Offices, the CLEC only needs to order a mailbox on the target number.

Password Protection |
|
Password protection provides the end
user with the capability of establishing a personal password. The system
assigns a temporary passcode. THE END USER MUST USE THE TEMPORARY
PASSCODE THE FIRST TIME THEY ACCESS THEIR MAILBOX. THEY WILL NEED TO
ACCESS THE MAILBOX THE FIRST TIME FROM THE TELEPHONE NUMBER WITH THE
MAILBOX ATTACHED TO IT. The system will ask the end user to change
the temporary passcode to a new 4-10 digit passcode of the end user's
choice. The passcode can be changed at any time.
The default passcode varies based upon the Voice Mail platform. The
default passcode will either be the last 4 digits or the last 7 digits
of the telephone number.
If the end user forgets the passcode, the CLEC can reset it to the default
passcode via the Voice
Mail Password Reset tool. CLECs must register to use the password
reset tool. There are two steps to registering:
- Obtain an authorization code. Please send an email to: connectivity.management.team@verizon.com and request an authorization code for establishing a Customer User
Administrator (CUA).
- Fill out and return the Customer
User Administrator (CUA) Form .
This process requires a CLEC to designate at least one CUA to approve requests for sign on I.D.s. If a CLEC
needs help registering as a user that CLEC can view the CUA
training module. If you need help managing users, a CLEC can view
the CUA training module. If a CLEC needs help registering as a user,
that CLEC can view the Verizon SSO User Registration Training.
