Using the Voice Mail System
Name Dialing
When enabled, the Name Dialing feature allows you to reach a mailbox user from the Auto Attendant by dialing the user's name on the keypad. The system can be configured to dial by last name or by first name. Up to 6 letters of the name can be entered. If there is more than one match, the Auto Attendant lists the names of the matches along with the key to press to call each match.
To dial by name:
1.Press 
to transfer to the Auto Attendant.
2.Dial 
.
3.At the prompt, enter the name using the keypad (press 2 for A, B or C, press 3 for D, E or F, etc.). You can enter up to 6 letters.
4.If a unique match is found, the Auto Attendant transfers you to the user.
If more than one user name start with the letters entered, the Auto Attendant lists the number of matches, then reads each match's name followed by the keypad number to enter to be transferred to that person.
For example:

You enter 5 6 6 3 7 for JONES. There is only one voice mail user with the last name spelled by the letters 5 6 6 3 and 7, and you hear “You are being transferred to James Jones”, and the Auto Attendant transfers you.
