WTC has set up your Voice Mail to be simple and easy to use. However, our system offers many advanced features that can be implemented if you wish. For example, Fax, Notification, and Wakeup are options that must be enabled by WTC before you have access to these features. The voice prompts you hear depend on which features are enabled or disabled for your mailbox. Please contact the WTC Business Office at 732-3000 for more information about these advanced features.
