Once connected, the text-to-voice system scans for the number of email messages available. This process generally takes at least 15 seconds (it can take longer if your ISP runs at a slower speed). Accessing the body of the message generally takes no longer than another 15 seconds. However, if you have attachments, the access time may be up to a minute or longer.
