Core Issue
A voice mail message takes some time before it begins to play.
Resolution
Perform this procedure to resolve the delay in the appearance of voice mail messages:
- Investigate whether the subscriber misunderstands how Cisco Unity delivers messages. Refer to the Subscriber Misunderstandings section of Cisco Unity Messages.
- Check to see if the Exchange server is down or disconnected. Refer to the Cisco Unity Primary Exchange Server Is Down or Is Disconnected section of Cisco Unity Messages.
- If the messages in question are Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) messages, refer to the AMIS Messages Are Unable to Be Delivered Promptly section of Cisco Unity Messages.
Refer to Cisco Unity Messages for more details.
