Why can’t I access my voicemail?

The phone and voicemail systems have been upgraded and you have to set up your mailbox again. Therefore your old passcode will not work. Try using the default passcode 0000.

Instructions are also noted on our website https://www.ramapo.edu/its/telecomm/.

At the login screen you will see a link to ‘Reset Jabber’. Click on it and click ‘Reset’ on the notification that pops up.

I have no dial tone when I pick up the handset but my screen seems to be working. What do I do?

Flip the phone over. There should be two cables plugged in. Unplug the cable on the left and the phone should turn off. Wait a few seconds and plug it back in. When the phone reboots, the service should return. If it still doesn’t work, please email us at telecomm@ramapo.edu so we can look into it further.

Why am I getting emails regarding my voicemail quota?

This is because you have too many voicemails in your mailbox. There is a limited amount of storage available per mailbox and the messages must be deleted on a regular basis. Once you delete the messages, they will clear out after a few days and your quota will reset. If you have any other questions regarding this, please email us at telecomm@ramapo.edu.
