Features

Only the Unified level of service includes E-Mail features. With E-Mail features, when you are traveling or simply off campus, you can call into the system and have all of your messages played back or have the system read your e-mail via text to speech conversion. Alternatively, you can forward your voice mail to your e-mail account and have your computer play back your voice mail. Thus, using one device - your phone, PC, or SmartPhone - you can retrieve both e-mail and voice mail.

You use the External E-Mail feature to add external e-mail servers to your UMS system.
