Options While listening to Messages Function:
The following functions can be performed while listening to any voicemail message.
Call Extension Within Message Center
After logging into the Voicemail System, you now have the option of transferring to any internal extension. This can be done from the main menu by dialing * plus the extension.
Note: This feature does not have a prompt within the system.
For Example: Mary calls her voicemail from home. She listens to three new messages and then decides she needs to leave a message for John. Mary enters *101 and is immediately transferred to John. If she had been listening to a message, she would press *# to skip to the end of the message, then # to return to the previous menu, then dial *101 to be transferred to the extension.
Call Extension Within User's Voicemail
While listening to another user's voicemail greeting (“Hi, I am not here right now, please leave a message after the beep…”), you can transfer to any internal extension by dialing * plus the extension.
For Example: Mary calls into work, reaches the Auto Attendant, then dials extension 101. She reaches John's extension, but he is not at his desk so his voicemail answers. Mary decides she would rather talk to Jim instead of leaving John a voicemail. She can dial *102 and be immediately transferred to Jim's extension.
In addition, Mary could have left John a message before transferring to Jim's extension. Mary's message for John would be sent first, and then she would be transferred to Jim.
This functionality is useful for someone who wants external callers to be able to transfer to someone else if necessary.
For Example: When Mary is on the road she could record her voicemail greeting to say: “Hi this is Mary. I am traveling today. If you need to speak to someone immediately, please dial *100 to reach Jack, otherwise leave a message at the beep.”
Note: It is recommended that Mary leave a long pause at the end of her greeting to allow the caller time to enter the extension before the beep.
