What Is System Time?

While your mailbox is being accessed, either by you as a mailbox owner, or by a prospect calling your Personal Toll Free Number (PTF), you will be charged system time. This is usage time pre-purchased at a rate of 10 cents/minute. This means you can access your mailbox from anywhere in the United States, any time of the day, at a flat rate of 10 cents/minute. Time is purchased in 1 hour blocks at a rate of $6.00/hour. Each time you access your account, time is deducted from your system time balance. This time balance will be spoken each time you access your mailbox. If you notice you are getting low, the system will notify you and you will have the option of purchasing more time though the system.

What Does It Mean "Please Record Your Name"?

As a new user, you will be asked to record your name when you enter the system. This is not the greeting people will hear when they dial your Personal Toll Free Number. This is an internal recording that will be heard any time someone on AirCom addresses a message directly to you. When other AirCom users contact your mailbox, they will hear your recorded name to ensure them that they have the correct mailbox number. Your recorded name will also sound when you contact the system and when others choose to speak with someone through the Business Info Call Transfer feature. You may change this any time you like by accessing Account Maintenance.

How Do I Access My Voice Messages?

From the main menu, selecting option 1 (Voice Messaging) will present you with the options to either review your messages, send a message or create a group list. Lets start with reviewing your messages. After you enter your Account Number and Security Code, the system will greet you by telling you how many voice and fax messages, including calls to your personal toll free number. When you enter message review, you will notice that your messages are organized into five different groups of message: Urgent, New, personal toll free number, Saved, and Erased. If you have any Urgent messages, you will hear them first, then New, personal toll free number, etc. You may jump between message types by pressing ##. When placing ads, you may just wish to review your prospect responses from your personal toll free number. The ## feature will allow you to skip directly to those messages. While listening to your messages, you may use the playback codes listed below. Playback codes will function while you are reviewing a message, or at the end of the message.

  1. Repeat the message
  2. Save the message (Stays in the system for 30 days)
  3. Delete the message (You may still recover it until you end the call.)
  4. Reply to the message
  5. Forward the message
  6. Back up 10 seconds in the message
  7. Pause
  8. Skip ahead 10 seconds into the message.

  9. *. Return to the previous menu
    0. Help
    #. Skip to the next message.
    ##. Skip to the next message type.

Erased messages are stored in your mailbox until you exit the system. This is a safety feature just in case you mistakenly erase a message you meant to keep. To recover these messages, skip to the Erased messages and when you find the message you erased, press 2 while it is playing to save it.

Selecting option 2 of the Voice Messaging menu will allow you to send a message to an individual, several recipients, or a group of AirCom users which you have previously created. You will be prompted to enter the mailbox or group list number followed by the # key. After you enter a valid mailbox number, you will hear the persons recorded name. This will help you verify you are addressing your message to the correct person. Enter the next mailbox or group list number or press the # key if your list of recipients is complete. Once you have finished addressing your message to all recipients, the system will prompt you to start recording your message after the tone. Press the # key when you have finished your message. You may now select one or more of the send options listed below.

  1. Will send your message
  2. Review your recording
  3. Rerecord your message
  4. Mark private
  5. Mark non-reply (This prevents the recipients from sending a reply to the message.)
  6. Mark urgent (To prevent misuse of this feature, we ask that you only use this label if the message truly is urgent.)
