• WAIT FOR A DIGIT
This option is to be used only if the mailbox owner instructs the caller to choose an
option in the personal greeting. This option provides the caller more time to enter a
digit. If the caller does not enter a digit, the VP system then takes whatever action is
specified in the field AFTER LEAVING MESSAGE.
If a caller hangs up during the playing of the mailbox greeting, there are times when
the VP system might begin recording a message before it detects that the call has
ended. In these cases, the mailbox ends up containing a short, blank message. By
using the WAIT FOR DIGIT option rather than RECORD IMMEDIATELY, you will
eliminate these false messages.
• RECORD IMMEDIATELY
The VP system voices the prompt, “Please speak after the tone,” and records the
caller’s message.
Note: If a caller hangs up during the playing of the mailbox greeting, there are
times when the VP system may begin recording a message before detecting
the call has ended. In these cases, the mailbox ends up containing a short,
blank message. By using the WAIT FOR DIGIT option rather than RECORD
IMMEDIATELY, you eliminate these false messages.
• PAGE IMMEDIATELY
The VP system looks at what type of pager this mailbox is using. If the PAGER TYPE
field is set to NONE or the PAGER NUMBER field is blank, the VP system takes
whatever action is specified in the AFTER LEAVING MESSAGE field (VP systems) or
AFTER RECORDING MESSAGE field (NTVP systems).
If the PAGER TYPE is TONE, the VP system takes a message and calls the mailbox
owner’s pager.
If the PAGER TYPE is DISPLAY / DIGITAL, the VP system asks the caller to enter
his/her own telephone number then calls the mailbox owner’s pager and relays that
number (no message is taken).
