Deleting Voicemails

Voicemails can be deleted in several different ways.

  • By signing into your voicemail on your desk phone and deleting all unwanted messages.
  • By deleting the voicemail notification email in your Outlook inbox, it will in turn delete the message from your voicemail.
  • Using Jabber, you can delete voicemail messages right from the Jabber application.
  • By accessing your voicemail box from outside the college and deleting unwanted messages. See steps below.

To log into voicemail from outside the college.

  • Dial your own DID number or
  • Dial  external number 708-225-5800
  • Press the * key when voicemail greeting answers
  • Enter your ID (extension), then press # key.
  • Enter your password, then press the # key.

Also, if you have a department line voicemail box, please make sure that all unwanted voicemail messages are deleted.

For the best experience with video conferencing (Bongo, Microsoft Teams, etc.) or VPN access to South Suburban College, you should have ping less than 100 ms, jitter less than 10 ms, download greater than 6.0 Mbps, and upload greater than 3.0 Mbps.

Please note that these suggested values will be affected by the amount of users that you actively have on your home network. The more devices you have attached to your network at any one time, the less available upload and download bandwidth you will have, and your ping and jitter values will go up as well.

If you find that your network is not performing at the minimum recommendation listed above please contact John McCormack.
