Retention Policy

Voice Mail messages are not systematically retained on the voice mail system. Retention of voice mail messages are controlled by each individual voice mail subscriber. Once the messages are deleted by the subscriber, they no longer exist and cannot be retrieved by anyone, including the voice mail system administrator. The voice mail system configuration is periodically backed up on tape, but that back up does not include messages.

Voice Mail messages delivered as a file attachment in email using DoIT's Enabled Voice Mail (EVM) service would be considered an e-mail message and would follow the retention policy of your e-mail system. Please check with your e-mail system administrator for that policy.
