# Calling to voicemail and listening/managing your messages

## Overview

`Voicemail Retrieval` allows users to access their voicemail messages by calling a designated voicemail number. This feature enables users to listen to and manage their voicemail messages conveniently, ensuring they stay informed and connected even when unable to answer calls

## Use Case

Users can retrieve their voicemail messages by dialing the designated voicemail number from their phone. Once connected, they can `listen` to their messages, `delete` or `save` them, and take any necessary actions based on the content of the messages.

## Example Action Sequence:

1. **Dial Voicemail Number**: Users dial the designated `voicemail number` from their phone.

   * **Selected connection**: This is a voicemail box for the selected connection. Voicemail recordings for the selected connection will be played.
3. **PIN Verification**
   * **Disabled**: PIN verification is disabled. Voicemail recordings are played straight away.
   * **Enabled**: PIN verification is required. Users need to enter their PIN for verification.
     * **PIN**: Users need to assign a PIN for verification (e.g., 1234).
     * **Limit the number of allowed failed attempts**:
       * **Enabled**: Users are limited to a maximum number of allowed failed attempts before the call is disconnected.
       * **Select a number**: Users can select the maximum number of allowed failed attempts (e.g., 3).
       * **Disabled**: Users are allowed any number of failed attempts.
4. **Listen to Messages**: Users listen to their voicemail messages one by one.
5. **Manage Messages**: Users have options to delete or save messages, replay messages, skip to the next message, or take other actions based on their preferences.
