Voicemail basics and options

GFiber Phone provides a number of options for accessing your voicemail. You can listen to voicemail on your GFiber Phone and have transcriptions of voicemail delivered to your email address or Google Voice app. You can also use your own answering machine instead of GFiber Phone's voicemail, if you prefer.

Set up your voicemail and voicemail PIN

Setting up your voicemail

From your primary GFiber Phone, dial *99; then follow the prompts to set up voicemail.

Because GFiber Phone lets you add users to your account, you can have up to three users total, each with their own phone number and voicemail. For the second and third users/lines, use the call-out code followed by *99 to set up voicemail.

  • Second user: dial **2, and then dial *99
  • Third user: dial **3, and then dial *99

Want your answering machine to pick up calls?
By default, GFiber Phone voicemail answers calls after 25 seconds. If you prefer to have your answering machine pick up calls, set your machine to answer within 25 seconds. Two, three, or four rings are typically 10, 16, and 20 seconds, respectively.
