There should be a broadcast option/mailbox, and user profiles, including you, option to receive/send broadcast I think.

It is in the "class Detail" or your user type. Sub menu off your mailbox profile.

By the way, if you have never changed it, the default broadcast mailbox on pilot is 5555. There are also Distrobution list types available.
For the purpose of sending a single message to a list of recipients, CallPilot
supports
personal distribution lists (PDL)
shared distribution lists (SDL)
broadcast messages
Personal distribution lists
When mailbox owners create PDLs from their phonesets, those lists are
available only to the creator. Each PDL allows the user to send a recorded
message to all the mailboxes contained in the list. A mailbox owner can
create up to 99 PDLs, each containing a maximum of 200 addresses. An
address can be, for example, a local or remote mailbox, an SDL.
Shared distribution lists
SDLs are similar to PDLs, except that they are created by administrators.
Maintaining a comprehensive list of SDLs optimizes your server capacity
because it minimizes the need for mailbox owners to create their own PDLs
and facilitates the use of broadcast messages.
To be able to use SDLs, a mailbox owner must belong to a mailbox class
that provides permission to use SDLs.
An administrator with access to CallPilot Manager Mailbox Classes
functionality must set up mailbox classes that permit access to SDLs.
ATTENTION Each SDL adds one address to a message recipient list,
regardless of the number of addresses in the SDL. Each
PDL adds the total number of addresses in the PDL to a
message recipient list. For example, an SDL with ten
entries adds one address, while a PDL with ten entries adds
ten addresses.

5555 should be there by default, if you want to be the only one, or a few do, that would be a good idea to do that, not turn it on for all.
