We are pleased to welcome you to the Chicago Business VoIP community.
Everything you need to access your new phone system in the cloud is
included in your shipment. Please refer to the setup instructions included in
your phone shipment to setup up your location-independent Cisco IP
phone.
Once you setup the phones following the step-by-step instruction, be sure
to record all four of your personal voicemail greetings (No Answer, Do Not
Disturb, Busy, and Name –see page 5).
You will only need your voicemail password to call into your voicemail box
from an outside line. It is recommended that you reset your password for
each direct line to something that can be easily remembered (also found on
page 5).
If you have any questions regarding setup, service, or features; please do
not hesitate to contact us using any of the information printed at the
bottom of this guide.
Thank you for choosing Chicago Business VoIP as your small business, phone
service provider!
Our best,
