Manage your Voicemails in Stratus
When there is not a phone or app available to use for checking your voicemail, the Stratus web portal can be used instead. Some users may find using the Stratus portal to be a convenient alternative to having to traditionally call in and listen to their mailbox's voice menu.
There are two places to check and manage the messages left in a mailbox: the Home page and the Messages page.

On the Home page, use the NEW VOICEMAIL MESSAGES section to quickly listen to and manage your voicemails:

- You can use the icons on the right to interact with the message further:
- To look at saved or trashed voicemails, you will need to go to the Messages page.

Voicemail Management on the Messages Page
In addition to the NEW VOICEMAIL MESSAGES section of the Home page, Stratus offers a dedicated Voicemail menu on the Messages page. Unlike the Home page's menu, the Messages page allows users to look at saved and deleted voice messages.
To use this menu…
