About Recent Communications

Your call history appears in the Recent Communications pane, so you can easily see and return calls and listen to voice mail.

The Recent Communication pane lists all voice-mail messages you have received, and up to 50 received, initiated, or missed calls.

New voice-mail messages appear in the list within one minute.

Unread communications appear in bold text.

Calls that you make or receive while using your Cisco Unified IP Phone only appear in the Recent Communications list if Cisco Unified Personal Communicator is running. Calls that you make using your desk phone appear only if you have set the active phone to Desk Phone. Voice mail appears regardless.

If you log on from different computers, only the communications that occur while you are logged into a particular computer appear in the recent communications list on that computer.
