Some legacy Private Branch eXchange (PBX) and IP PBX telephony systems allow the caller to mark a voice mail message as private, blocking the intended recipient of the message from forwarding it to others. In integrated voice mail systems, a voice message can be accessed in multiple ways, which makes it more of a challenge to prevent voice messages marked private from being exposed to unintended listeners.

The caller can then choose from additional message options, including the option to mark the voice message as private by pressing the pound (#) key. If the caller presses the # key, they can follow the instructions provided by UM to mark the message as private, remove the private marking from the private voice message, or mark the voice message with High importance. The following diagram shows the menu options that are available to callers when they leave a private voice message for a user.
