If you have a phone with a date and time display hooked up to your VOIP line, it may be syncing to the timestamp on incoming caller ID messages. This has been working fine on mine, only the time was Pacific instead of Eastern!
Packet8 provides a voicemail time option on their web page, but caller ID timezone is controlled on your local VOIP gateway/router. To change it:
- Connect to the router with a browser
- Enter the password (default “admin” on the BPG510)
- Change the timezone under System > Localization
- Change the password under System > Administration while you’re at it
Finally, for the change to take effect, you may have to reboot the device and wait for an incoming call to resync.
