Announcements

 
All CUMC voicemail accounts will be migrated to a new system on Dec. 2, 2015, at 6 a.m. If you have an existing voicemail account, a new one has been set up for you, but you must record your greeting. 
 
To do so, call 317-8800, which is your new voicemail access number, and enter 1111 when prompted for a password. The system will guide you through changing your password and recording a greeting. From the time of migration forward, you will access voicemail by calling 317-8800 or using the message indicator button on your phone.
