Greetings
This page allows you to configure which greeting will be played to callers who get forwarded
to your voicemail. You can choose to either use a standard system, or to record and use a
personal message of your choice. The Greetings page is split into two sections, “Configure
Greeting” and “Record Greeting”.

• System - This Plays the normail system greeting, with no identifying information
• System with Number - This plays the normal system greeting, including your phone
number.
• System with Name - This plays the normal system greeting, but includes your recorded
name. This option will only appear if you have recorded your “spoken name”
Page 12
Greeting Recorder:
MyPortal gives you the option to record your voicemail message from your computer. The interface for
recording is simple; however, you must have a microphone for this feature.
The following is an image of the Greeting Recorder and an explanation of its icons.
Starts recording. This will overwrite any message you have previously recorded.
Plays back your recorded message. This action will be unavailable if you have not yet
recorded a message.
Stops recording or playing the message.
This control allows you to adjust the gain of your microphone. While recording, the
lights above this control will show how lould the signal is from your microphone.
If the gain is set correctly then several green lights should appear while you are
recording. If only one or two appear, then the gain is set too low and your
message will be too quiet. If red lights appear then the gain is set too high and
your message will be distored.
This control allows you to adjust the playback volume. You can mute or on-mute
playback by clicking the
or
incons, and adjust the slider to set a
particular volume level.
When you first attempt to record a message, an “Adobe Flash Player Settings” overlay will appear.
Ensure that the “Allow” radio button is selected, and if you do not wish to be shown these settings
in future tick the “Remember” checkbox.
To record a message you need to carry out the following steps.
• When you are ready to record your message, press the
button.
• Read your message into your microphone, and when you have finished, press the
button.
• Playback your message to check that it has recorded correctly by pressing the
button.

Contacts & Speed Dial
The Contacts page allows you manage Contact Lists and Speed Dials
Contact List
The contact list allows you to store information about your telephone contacts. Adding
contacts to this list makes other features easier to use. For example:
• When you receive a call, if the caller is configured in your contact list then instead of seeing
their telephone number in your call history, you will see their name
• When configuring services such as rejecting callers, you can select people from your
contact list to reject calls instead of needing to enter their phone numbers explicitly.
Note: When multiple telephone numbers are configured, one number can be identified as the
main (or default) number. Similarly one of the email addresses can be marked as the main one.
Your contact list may also contain groups, which make it easy to group together individual
contacts whom you wish to refer to all at once. Groups may also be nested within other groups.
Contacts and Groups
Page 14
Add a Contact
To add a new contact, click on the “New Contact” button on the bottom of the screen. Add
information about each contact
Each contact list entry may contain:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
First and Last Names
Nickname
Job Title, and organization
Home,work, cell, fax and other telephone numbers
Two email addresses
An SMS address
Home and work postal addresses
Once you have finished entering the details for the new contact, click the “Save” button
to submit your changes. If you wish to discard the new entry, click “Cancel”.
Finding a Contact List Entry
There are multiple ways of finding an existing contact list entry.
• Alphabeticall by name. Scroll through the names in the contact list column, and click on
the one you want to view the details of.
• Searching by name. To search by name type the first few letters of any component of the
name into the search box at the top of the contact list column.
• Searching by number. To search for a contact by number type the first few digits of one
of their telephone numbers into the search box.
Editing a Contact Entry
To edit an existing contact, first find the contact you wish to edit and select it to make it
appear in the details column.
Click the “Edit” button below the details column. Make the necessary updates, and then click
either the “Save” or “Cancel” buttons to commit or discard your changes.
When editing a contact, you can also change which groups it is a member of.
Add a Group
To add a new group to the contact list, click the “New Group” button below the contact list
column. There are entry field for the Group Name and a numerical ID you can use to refer to the
group over the telephone. You can also select individual contacts and groups to be added as
group members by ticking the checkbox along their names in the rightmost column. This column
also holds a search box which can be used to quicly locate the names you want if you already
have a long contact list.
Once you have finished entering the details for the new group and selecting its members, click
the “Save” button to submit your changes. If you wish to discard the new group, click “Cancel”.

Contact List Import
This feature allows you to import contacts from another application such as Microsoft Outlook
or Outlook Express. This provides a very quick way of populating your contact list if you have
already contacts defined in another application. If you maintain multiple contact lists this
feature can also be used to periodically update your contact list with the changes you have
made to contacts in other applications.
To import contacts, you must first generate a CSV file containing them. This file is typically
generated by exporting your contacts from another application. For example, the following
steps describe how you would export your contacts from Microsoft Outlook. Note: the steps
may vary slightly depending upon the version of Outlook you are using.
Exporting Microsoft Outlook Contact List:
•
•
•
•
•
Select File > Import and Export from the main menu
Choose “Export to a File” and press the Next button
Choose Comma Separated Values (Windows) and press the Next button
Select your Contacts folder and press the Next button
Choose a location to save the CSV file to and press the Next button. Remember where
you have saved the file as you will need this shortly again.
• Press the Finish button.
Once you have created a CSV file containing your contacts, you can import them by pressing
the Import button on the Contact List tab. This will bring up the Import Contacts overlay.
1. Press the “Browse” button, and locate the CSV file containing the contacts you wish
to import.
2. Select what you would like to happen if a contact you are importing “matches” a
contact already define in your contact list. See the section below on Matching Contacts.
3. Press “Import” to start the import operation. If you are importing a large number of
contacts, this may take a while to complete.
4. Once the process has completed, you will be shown counts of the number of new
contacts added, existing contacts updated, and, if appropriate, counts of how many
existing entries were deleted and how many contacts were ignored (see Matching
Contacts). At this stage you can also press the “Details” button to check what
updates have been made to your contact list.
5. Having checked the counts and details, if you are happy then press the “Confirm”
button to commit the changes. If you’re not happy, press the “Cancel” button - the
import operation will be abandoned, and no changes will be made to your contact
list.
Matching Contacts
Generally, an imported contact is considered to “match” an existing contact if they have the
same name. The only exception to this is if you have previously exported your contacts using
Native Format.
Page 16
1. If there is a match, but the two versions do not contain any conflicting information then the
import operation will simply add any additional details from the imported version of the
contact to the existing version.
2. If there is a match, and the two entries conflict with one another, e.g. you have an existing
entry for John Smith with his address as “101 Mountainview Drive”, and you are importing
an entry for John Smith which has his address as “17 Pelican St” then what happens depends
upon the action you choose in the import contacts overlay.
• Overwrite the contact. The imported version will overwrite the version already in
your contact list. You should select this option if you are confident that the list of
contacts you are importing will always contain the most up-to-date information.
• Duplicate the contact. The imported version will be added as a new contact list
entry, so, in the example above you will end up with two entries for John Smith.
You can then go through an manually choose whether to keep one or both entries
once the import process has completed.
• Ignore imported entry. The entry will not be imported, and the version currently in
your contact list will be left unchanged. You should select this option if you are
confident that your existing contact list will always contain the most up-to-date
information.
Contact List Export
This feature allows you to export your contacts as a CSV text file. This is useful if you wish to
import your contacts into another application such as Miscrosoft Outlook of Outlook Express.
To export your contacts, press the “Export All button on the Contact List tab. This will bring
up the ”export contacts” overlay.
1. Select the appropriate “Export Mode” from one of the following
• Outlook/Outlook Express compatible. You should select this option if you wish to
subsequently import your contacts to Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or some
other application that supports importing contacts from Outlook or Outlook Express.
• Windows Contacts on Vista. You should select this option if you wish to subsequently
import your contacts to Windows Contacts on Vista.
• Native Format
2. Press the “Export” button
3. Once the export operation has completed, you will have the opportunity to specify
where you wish to save the exported file to.
Exporting in Native Format
Native format is generally only of use to advanced users.
Page 17
In native format, each exported contact list entry also includes a unique numerical
identifier. If a CSV file containing such identifiers is subsequently re-imported, then contacts
in the CSV file are considered match entries in the contact list if their numerical identifiers
match; mtaching is done on the basis of the Identifier in preference to using the contact
name.
This is valuable if, for example, you wish to export your contacts to a spreadsheet, make a
set of changes and then re-import them - even if you change a contact’s name, it will still
be correctly correlated with the existing contact list entry.
Speed Dials
Speed Dials allow you to allocate short codes to numbers you call often. This screen shows
you the list of speed dials you already defined, and provides you with a form for configuring
more.
To add a new speed dial entry, you must enter the following information and then click the
“Add” button:
• Speed Dial: This is the short number you will use when dialing from your phone.
The short code should range from 1 thru 9 and 20 thru 49.
• Number: This is the full number that you wish to call when using this speed dial
entry.
To delete a configured speed dial entry, click the “trash can” icon next to the entry.
To delete all of your speed dials, click the “Clear List” button at the lower left hand corner.
In order for any changes to your list of speed dials to take place, you must click on the
“Apply” button to commit changes, or the “Cancel” button to discard your changes.

Reminder Call
The Reminder Call service allows you to configure your phone to ring at a specified time
(for example, as a wake-up call).
The Reminders tab shows you a list of reminder calls you currently have scheduled, and provides
you with a form for configuring additional reminder calls.
Reminder calls may be scheduled to occur either:
• once at a time of your choice in the next 24 hours
• every week at a time and day of your choice
• every day at a time of your choice
• every weekday at a time of your choice.
You may schedule multiple reminder calls, and these may be any combination of the above types.
To schedule a new reminder call:
1. Click the “Reminders” tab at the top of the Window
2. Next to “Occurs”, specify whether you want the reminder to occur just once (in the next 24 hours),
or whether it will be repeated on a regular basis.
3. Specify the time of day you wish your reminder call to be scheduled for (It is always relative to
Arizona time).
4. Click the “Add” button.
5. You MUST click the “Apply” button for changes to be made or “Cancel” to discard changes.

Click to Dial
This feature allows you to initiate an outbound call from MyPortal using either your homephone
or another phone without manually dialing their number. For instance, if someone leaves a
voicemail, instead of dialing the numbers on your phone, you can click on that person’s
name or phone number. Your phone will ring, and once you pick up the phone it will begin
ringing that person.
If you choose to use a phone other than your home phone, your home phone caller information
will display on the phone receiving your call.
This feature allows you to reply faster to voicemails, and makes it appear that you are
calling from your home or business phone.
