Voicemail

What do I do if I forget my PIN?

Log into Loyola Outlook Web Access (OWA) using the classic view. Select the Settings icon, which is gear shaped and located in the upper right. In the search box, enter "voice mail".  Select the first search result which will be "Voice Mail". Your screen will change and on the left you will be presented with several choices, select "Reset PIN".  To complete the action, select "Reset my voice mail PIN".  You will receive an email from Microsoft Outlook containing a temporary PIN.

What does the voicemail PIN email look like?

You will receive an email from Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging welcoming you to Exchange and provbiding you a PIN to set-up your account. You will need to input this PIN for verification, then reset the PIN with a PIN of your choosing, preferrably all on the same set-up call.  Reach out to the Service Desk with any additional questions.

Why can I not access my voicemail via the 8-6040 or 5-6858 extensions?

With the migration to Exchange Online, a new access number was established to allow both new and old voice mail systems to co-exist.  As noted in the initial email you receive from Microsoft Outlook that number is 8-7500.  8-6040 and 5-6858 will continue to work for those voice mailboxes not migrated to Exchange Online.

Why is my message-waiting light on my desk phone no longer turning on when I have a new voicemail message?

Email accounts, which have been migrated to Exchange Online will no longer have the message-waiting light on their desk phone activate for new messages.  As before the migration, voicemail messages appear in your Outlook inbox, this will continue with Exchange Online.  There are several ways to inquire on new voicemail messages.  From the desktop Outlook client, on the left expand the item “Search Folders”.  A number to the right of “Voice Mail” will indicate the number of new messages.  From Skype for Business, the presence of a number next to the keypad icon will indicate the number of new messages.  From Loyola Outlook Web Access (OWA) search for the key words “voice mail.” Voice mailboxes not associated with an individual’s email account will remain working as they do today.
