Users will need to save any voicemail messages from the legacy system, as they do not migrate to the new system. It's possible a message may have been left for you before the cutover, so please remotely check your voicemails in the legacy system, by dialing 850-473-7898. When prompted enter your ID (your 4 digit campus extension) followed by # and your voicemail PIN then #. This service will be available for a few more weeks. |
