On August 10, faculty and staff voicemail at Boston College will use a new system as part of a project to replace outdated software and equipment.

WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT:

  • Your PIN: Your old PIN will not work. ITS will communicate with you to let you know how to log in to the new system on August 10.Ìý
  • More secure PIN: When you create your new voicemail PIN, it must be at least six digits long.
  • New Greeting: You will need to record a new outgoing greeting.
  • "Please enter your ID": When accessing your messages, the phrase, "Please enter your ID." will be the equivalent to, "Please enter your mailbox number." You’ll enter your five-digit Ï㽶Ðã extension (e.g., 24357).
