Other Kinds of Mailboxes

41

In addition to preventing a caller from leaving a message, a greeting-only mailbox does not allow anyone to forward or create and send a message to it or reply to a message that was sent from its extension

Avoid adding a greeting-only mailbox to a personal voice mail group list.

Phantom Mailbox A phantom mailbox does not have an actual telephone associated with it. The administrator sets up a phantom mailbox.

Examples:

■If you are a sales representative who travels constantly for your organization and never comes into the office, you still need a way to receive telephone messages. Using your phantom mailbox, you can retrieve, forward, and save messages in the same way that any other employee can but without a physical telephone connected to your NBX system.

■If you are an employee who lives a long distance from your office and works from home, customers and others can leave messages in the your phantom mailbox and you can call in to the NBX system to retrieve them, or you can listen to them from the NBX NetSet utility.

You retrieve messages from a phantom mailbox in the same way that you retrieve messages from a personal mailbox. See “Listening to NBX Messages” earlier in this chapter.

Group Mailbox A group mailbox is a voice mailbox from which a group of users can retrieve messages. Your administrator creates group mailboxes and can explain how to retrieve messages that are left in the group mailbox.

Example:

■During nonbusiness hours, the system can send incoming telephone calls for your sales department to a group mailbox. Your administrator assigns to the appropriate sales people the ability to listen to, forward, or otherwise handle all messages that are directed to the group mailbox.
