Voice-mail greeting message notification

摘要

The invention provides a method and system for prompt recipient notification of the active greeting on a voice message system, with the notification provided on initial recipient access of the voice message system, typically at the same time as the recipient is informed of new voice messages. Notification of the active greeting on initial access provides the recipient the opportunity to modify an outdated greeting thereby providing more current information. The invention also provides a method and system for automatically restoring the primary greeting at a predetermined date without the necessity of the recipient accessing the voice message administration area on that predetermined date.
