Unified Messaging Promotion Begins Fall 2005
by Diana Noelcke
The University of Cincinnati's new voice mail product, purchased and implemented in 2004, came with many new features to make the system a true Unified Messaging platform. UCit is pleased to make a special promotional offer to all voice mail customers, beginning 1 September 2005, when two key features will be coming online.
Find Me Follow Me will let you set a list of numbers the system will call if you are out of the office, but would like calls forwarded to a cell or other number.
Email Features will let you receive your voice mail via email or email via voice mail! Listen to your voice mail via your computer or have the voice mail system read your email messages to you over the phone.
The Unified level of service includes all features of the system. You can access a user guide for the Unified mailbox online.
Find Me Follow Me and Email Features will be added to the Plus voice mailbox level of service, for users who wish to take advantage of the promotional offer at no additional cost, from 1 September 2005 to 28 February 2006. If, after the six months promotion you wish to continue with the Unified mailbox features, your cost will be $11.00 monthly for the Unified Messaging mailbox, versus the current $9.00 monthly cost for a Plus mailbox today.
Basic and Standard voice mailbox users will be given all of the features of the Unified Mailbox for the promotional price of $9.00 a month. If, after the promotion, you wish to continue with the Unified Mailbox features, your cost will be $11.00 monthly. If, after the promotion, you determine not to continue with the Unified mailbox feature, your monthly cost will return to the original cost of $3.00 for Basic voice mail and $6.00 for Standard voice mail.
