**Attention Call Recording Users** Call recording is assigned to a specific user ID when implented. Changing the user ID for a user when call recording is enabled, is not supported. To change a call recording user ID, the call recording feature must be disabled, then call recording can be re-enabled after the user ID is changed. Existing recordings will not be lost, but will be found under the previous user's user ID.
***Attention Hosted VoIP and IQ SIP Voicemail Users*** Security enhancements will be made to the voicemail platform as part of our keep current initiatives on Thursday, October 15th. The option to skip entering a PIN on all voicemail greetings will no longer be available and new PIN guidelines will be implemented.
How does this impact you?
If the skip PIN option was disabled, there is no impact. If the skip PIN option was enabled, a PIN will have to be entered when dialing voicemail from an IP handset or Business Communicator. PIN length will be a minimum of 6 digits with a maximum of 15 and new guidelines regarding repeating characters and sequential characters will be implemented.
If skip PIN was enabled and you have forgotten your password, you will need to call Lumen VoIP Repair at 877-453-8353, option 1, 2, 2, for assistance. If your current voicemail PIN does not meet the new guidelines, there is no immediate impact but we recommend you change your PIN frequently. When you do change your PIN, you will be required to follow the new guidelines. The new voicemail PIN guidelines can be found in the Voicemail User Guide.
