Any phone with an enabled voicemail service can have the name personalized using these directions.  If you still have an older phone set, or a new VoIP set the access method will work for both. 

Step-by-step guide


  1. Dial (716) 673-4444 ( this can be done from any phone, you do not need to make this call from the phone you would like to change the name )
  2. Enter your mailbox number in a seven digit format.  The mailbox number is the same as the phone number.  ( for example 6732004 )
  3. Enter your password followed by the pound sign. ( for example 1111# )
  4. Listen to the main menu options.
  5. Press 9 to access the setup menu.
  6. Your name should be recorded
  7. Hang up if you are finished.


If you do not know your voicemail box password you can put in a ticket in at https://tracker.fredonia.edu or send an email to networking@fredonia.edu for assistance.  Please include the voicemail box number with the ticket.
