Hi all,

 

I've just switched from Spark to Orcon and being in Dunedin received the Fritzbox 7490 to handle the Gigatown speeds. The summary of offer said I was to receive Orcon Genius and one of the features I liked about that (being a bit reluctant to drop the copper line) was the ability to 1) receive voicemail as an email attachment and 2) use the Genius Go.

 

1) receive voicemail as an email attachment

 

Given I didn't receive the Genius Black or White do I set this feature up using the Fritzbox? I don't want to meddle here in case this is not supported. Is there any documentation around to ease this process?

 

2) Use Genius Go

 

I am using the username and password that I use to log in to My Orcon and it keeps saying one of them is invalid? Is this app still current and working and why won't it accept me? I am trying at work - do I need to be at home?

 

Many thanks in advance

You should call Orcon with these questions.

If you want to use the 7490 for voicemail, this is how you receive voicemail's as an email (per 7390):

 

Telephony > Answering Machine > Additional Settings > Tick "Send messages via e-mail" > Enter Email

 

You'll need to set up Push Services to send emails:

 

System > Push Service > Sender > Enter SMTP Details

 

You need to be using your Fritz Box for voicemail rather than your provider.

 

Can't answer the Genius Go questions sorry.
