Verizon's voice mail
service in California will be unavailable for a short period early Sunday
(Aug. 10) when technicians upgrade the system's software.
Work on the system will begin at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and will last
between 45 minutes to 3 hours. During that time, callers will be unable to
leave messages, and California voice mail subscribers (about 700,000
customers) will not be able to access their mailboxes. Normal telephone and
Internet services will not be affected.
"We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this upgrade, which we
will complete as quickly as possible," said Margaret Serjak, vice president
of operations for Verizon's West Coast region. "We thank our customers for
their patience as we make improvements needed to ensure continued reliable
voice mail service."
