2.During your company’s auto-attendant greeting, dial the number specifically set up by your system administrator to give you an inside dial tone.
If your system is not programmed for an inside dial tone selection during the auto-attendant answering sequence (it is not in the factory default), you can still get an inside dial tone by doing the following:
1.Dial your company and wait for your system to pick up.
2.During your company’s auto-attendant greeting, dial your own voice mail extension number.
3.When you hear your pre-recorded greeting, hit the # key, then enter your password. You will be in voice mail at this point, and if your intention was to check your voice mail, then you are ready to press 1 for Play, 2 for Pause, etc., as outlined in the chapter Voice Mail starting on page 49.
If, on the other hand, you really need an inside line dial tone to perform some other function such as enabling call-forwarding for your extension or putting your system in Night Mode, then once you are in your voice
mail, press * (at this point, * is the Exit Voice Mail sequence), and you will get an inside dial tone.
Once you get an inside line dial tone from an outside line, you can perform all of the functions you would from inside the building EXCEPT pressing 9 to get an outside line dial tone. This is done to prevent users from dialing in from outside and then placing long-distance calls which get charged to the company.
