The invention relates to a method for indicating a waiting voice message to a telephone subscriber. A voice message intended for a specified telephone subscriber is recorded into a voice mail unit (1) in a switching exchange, and said telephone subscriber (4) is informed of the existence of the recorded voice message. In order that a general purpose service could be realized in as simple a way as possible, (a) in response to the recording of the voice message, a standard signalling message related to call set-up is sent via interexchange signalling system to the telephone subscriber's exchange, the message being provided with an identifier informing of the recorded message, (b) after having received said signalling message containing said identifier, the telephone subscriber's exchange fails to set up a speech connection and stores into said subscriber's subscriber data information on that a voice message intended for the subscriber is recorded into the voice mail unit of the network, and (c) the telephone subscriber's exchange transfers information on the existence of the voice message to the subscriber on the basis of the stored subscriber data.
