CAN ANYONE LEAVE A PRIVATE MESSAGE FOR ME?
Absolutely! You can give anyone you wish the toll-free number and your mailbox number to leave messages for you. Messages can be left for you any time – day or night. And you can call the same toll-free number to listen to your messages anytime you want… from anywhere in the US and Canada.
WILL I HAVE TO PAY LONG-DISTANCE CHARGES TO LISTEN TO MY MESSAGES?
You or the people that leave messages for you — will never be charged for long distance! That's why we give you a toll-free number in the first place. You never have to pay long distance charges to check your messages. The low monthly fee of just $14.95 covers everything. Every call within the continental United States is 100% FREE and that includes calls from Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and many of the US Caribbean Islands too.
HOW MANY MESSAGES CAN I HAVE IN MY MAILBOX?
Your messages are unlimited! PLUS you can get an email with a voice attachment for each message you receive. So now you can listen to your messages without even calling in to hear them! Important messages can be saved to your computer so you can listen to them whenever you want. Best of all, your Orbit Personal Voice Mailbox will automatically save your messages forever… until you choose to delete them.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LENGTH OF MY VOICEMAIL GREETING?
Your voicemail greeting can last up to a full 60-seconds long. That's plenty of time to leave a full-length personal message for your private callers to listen to.
WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL MY Orbit Telecom™ ACCOUNT?
Not many people do. But if you want to cancel, we've made it easy for you. Simply select the "cancel option" from the Cancel Page on the Orbit Telecom™ Voicemail website. The system will update its records immediately and your account will be closed... no questions asked!
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY PRIVATE ORBIT VOICE MAILBOX?
You will be responsible for the low monthly fee of only $14.95 that will be billed on your local telephone bill in the Miscellaneous Charges section under Orbit Telecom™. Your account can be canceled anytime you wish (see above) and will not be charged if you decide to cancel within the first 72 hours after activating your account. However, if you do not cancel your account within 72 hours from the date/time displayed on your activation email, you will only be responsible for the $14.95 monthly fee mentioned above.
HOW DO VOICEMAIL EMAIL ATTACHMENTS WORK?
Voicemail attachments with email can be a very powerful tool. When you get a message in your voicemail mailbox, we copy your new phone message as .wav file. Then your phone messages will be sent automatically to you via email. You can play back your messages through your PC without ever having to call in for your messages. You can also forward your voice messages to anyone else — or save them to your hard drive.
It's important to remember that attachments are independent of your voicemail account. That means that when you listen to a voicemail as an email file attachment through your PC, it will still be listed as a new voicemail the next time you access your voicemail account by phone or online through your web account.
