    Features of the Voice Processing System Voice Mail can revolutionize your life, both business and personal, by letting you take the fullest possible advantage of time spent on the telephone and by ensuring reliable, effective communication. Voice Mail is inexpensive, convenient, and easy to use. Using touch-tone telephones, recorded messages can be sent, received, and retrieved at any time and from anywhere in the world.
  • Page 120 Features of the Voice Processing System Fewer Interruptions, Peak Concentration ________________________ Concentration is often hampered by the sound of a ringing telephone. With the VPS, however, this is not a problem: you simply choose the most convenient times at which you wish to send or receive messages, and proceed undisturbed with the work at hand.
  • Page 121 Features of the Voice Processing System The VPS allows you to leave a message without having to speak directly to the recipient. Similarly, the system will handle all your calls and notify you when messages arrive in your mailbox. The freedom gained through the use of Voice Mail will permit you to increase productivity in both the business and personal fields.
