To receive notification...
Message Waiting Notification (whether by page, phone, or email) is triggered only when a message is saved on the voicemail server. If you forward your voicemails to email, you must keep a copy on the server in order to receive notification of messages.

The Stanford Voice Messaging system can send a message to your primary or alternate phone (such as your cell phone), numeric or text pager, and/or your email account to notify you of new voicemail or fax messages in your voice mailbox. The system sends the notification based on the schedules and options that you set up.
You can specify:
- The times when you want to be notified of the new message arrival based on day of week and time of day (all times are based on your own time zone)
- Different notification times for urgent and normal messages
- Different schedules for phone, pager, or email notification
You can enable or disable these notification options, as well as specify or change the notification phone numbers or email addresses.
Note: If you are unable to set up your pager through the portal, you can request HelpSU staff to set up your pager for you. Just give them your pager number and dial string, if applicable. To request pager setup, submit a HelpSU request or call 5-HELP (650-725-4357).
