Sending a Call to a Voice Message System

Tips

•If the call was originally sent to the phone of another person, iDivert allows you to redirect the call either to your own voice message system or to the voice message system of the originally called party. Your system administrator must make this option available to you.

•If the call was sent to you directly (not transferred or forwarded to you), or if your phone does not support the option described above, using iDivert redirects the call to your voice message system.

•If your phone displays a menu that disappears before you make your selection, you can press iDivert again to redisplay the menu. You can also ask your system administrator to configure a longer timeout value.

•When you switch an in-progress call from your mobile phone to Cisco Unified devices that share the same line (Session Handoff), the iDivert feature is disabled on the Cisco Unified devices. The iDivert feature returns when the call ends.

Forwarding Calls to Another Number

You can use call forwarding features to redirect incoming calls from your phone to another number.

Your system administrator may allow you to choose from two types of call forwarding features:

•Unconditional call forwarding (Call Forward All)—Applies to all calls that you receive.
