"FIOS Digital Phone" with FIOS Digital Voice

[mccunney]

In the instructions for Receiving Voice Mail Messages with FiOS Digital Voice, it states: "Your FiOS® Digital Voice Phone will emit an interrupted dial tone to indicate that you have one or more Voice Mail messages." and there are instructions "To Listen to Your Voice Mail Messages On Your FiOS Digital Phone". 

Is a "FiOS Digital Phone" a special digital phone or will any existing analog phone also work for receiving and being alerted to voice mail messages?

Any standardr phone will work with voice mail whether its cordless or corded.

When a voice mail is received you will hear a studder dial tone indicating a voice mail.  Some phones such as our cordless phone system will blink a light on the handset indicating a voicemail has been received.

If you do not get the studder dial tone be sure it is enabled in the voice mail settings.  This can be found under:

There is also notifications that can be sent via a text and/or email when a voice message is left.  The email feature is nice since you can listen to the message on your email on your PC or smartphone.

Finally if you are new to Fios digital voice and have Fios TV you can also enable Caller ID so when a call is received the Caller ID will be displayed on your TV.

I hope this helps.

My smartphone (DroidX) isn't smart enough to play back messages through MyVerizon... (puzzle piece instead of the play button) any advice.
