Voice
Mail
The best way to get your messages.
Voice Mail does things an answering machine can't like answering
when your line is busy or when you're on the Internet. Callers won't
get a busy signal and you can pick up your messages no matter where
you are from any touchtone phone. And you get private mailboxes
so you always get your messages. Empire Telephone gives away
Voice Mail for FREE. Ask for it today!
