I just started working at a large global corporation
I have a nifty Cisco IP Phone and I notice a red light, informing me that there was a message waiting. I had only given this number to a few people, so I thought it might be a message I actually wanted to hear.

Looked around and realized I had no login information. So, I called the help desk. They told me that I needed manager approval (!) in order to receive voicemail. I told them I already had voicemail, I just needed to access it.

HelpDeskMan then asked if I needed help setting up a voice mail account. I said, "Please, but don't I need a manager's approval?" "Oh, yeah" he replied. He then offered to contact me as soon as it was set up, and said "Now, I have xxxx as your number. I'll call you and leave a message if you're not there."

I'm guessing you don't work for the News of the World then.

Urgh,
Cisco IP phones are pants. We've just had them installed in our office and they've caused nothing but trouble. Crackly lines, audio delay and problems forwarding calls. Load of rubbish.
