Adding, Reassigning and Canceling UTVM


Determining if UTVM Service Already Exists for a Phone Number

If the mailbox exists, you will hear its greeting.  If not, you will hear that the "service is temporarily unavailable."  You can then proceed to request new service or reassignment of the existing mailbox, as appropriate.

Adding New UTVM Service

Reassigning UTVM Mailboxes 

To request mailbox reassignment, send an email to utvoicemail@austin.utexas.edu with the following:

Option 1:  Complete Mailbox Replacement
This option is the cleanest for the new subscriber, because all settings (such as email notification and forwarding) and recordings (such as name, standard greeting, extended absence greeting, etc.) will be removed.  However, any messages (played or unplayed) in the mailbox will also be removed and cannot be retrieved.
 
Option 2:  PIN Reset Only
This option retains any messages (played or unplayed) left in the mailbox, but also retains any greetings and settings used by the previous subscriber.  When choosing this option, the new subscriber will be advised to check and update all settings and greetings using the following checklists:
