Voicemail services through CenturyLink, which used to be CenturyTel and Embarq, are easy to use if you know how. After your services have been set up through your phone line, changing the voicemail settings requires only that you log into your online account and look in the right places. You can change the number of times your phone rings before voicemail takes over in a matter of minutes.
