# Accessing and Using the Service Desk {% hint style="info" %} **Utilizing the service desk requires approved access granted by Sharpen.** If you had previously opened requests with Plum Voice support, you will have received an email from Plum Voice `support@plumvoice.com` with the subject line `Welcome to Plum Voice Support Portal`. See Figure 1 below for an example. If you have not received this email, please send a request to `servicedeskaccess@sharpencx.com` from the email address for which you would like to create an account. {% endhint %}
