Voice Mail Features
The Voice Mail System is a message management system that provides the calling and
the called parties with enhanced communication features. It allows greater accessibility,
faster reply time between parties, and reduces the frustration of telephone tag.
The voice mail system includes the following features:
Configurable voice mail playing order – Administrators can configure users’ voice
mailboxes to play the oldest or the newest message first.
Disable a Mailbox – voice mailboxes can be disabled so that callers cannot leave
messages.
Future Delivery – allows users to record a message to be delivered at a specific time
and date in the future, up to one year in advance.
Information Only Mailbox – a mailbox can be configured to announce customized pre-
recorded information when accessed. This mailbox does not allow callers to leave a
message, but only to listen to the message announcement (personal greeting) from the
mailbox. To repeat the message, callers are instructed to press the # key.
Making a Call from the Voice Mail System – allows users to make a call from within
the Voice Mail System by pressing # at the Main Menu and entering the internal exten
-
sion or external phone number. This is especially useful while traveling where users can
respond to all messages and make other calls not associated with a message, all with
one call into the Voice Mail System. This can result in significant savings. The use of this
privilege is configurable on a per-user basis.
Message Management – receives, sends, forwards, deletes, and replies to messages.
Message Notification – designed to alert you of new voice messages in your mail box
by calling an extension, phone or pager number. A notification schedule can be set for
business hours, after business hours, at any time or at a specified time. You have an
option of being notified of all messages or only urgent messages.
New and Heard Voicemails Announced – Heard voicemails are announced, as well
as new and saved voicemails, when users access voicemail.
Personal/Activity Greeting – allows users to record personal and/or activity greetings
in their own voice to be played when callers reach their voice mail.
