Leaving a Message

The system lets you leave voice messages for subscribers, groups, or guests. If you call a subscriber’s extension and the call is unanswered, your call is automatically routed to the subscriber’s mailbox, where you can leave a message. You can also leave messages directly in a subscriber’s mailbox.

If your telephone system uses identified subscriber messaging, the system automatically tags a message from your assigned extension with your name.

If your telephone system does not use identified subscriber messaging or you are calling from another subscriber’s extension, you need to identify yourself as a subscriber by entering your personal ID and security code.

DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE

Your system may use automatic directory assistance, numeric directory assistance, or both, to help callers find subscribers’ extension numbers.

Callers with letters on their telephones can use automatic directory assistance, which identifies subscribers by their last names. All callers can use numeric directory assistance, which groups subscribers by department, location, or other categories.

SPECIAL DELIVERY OPTIONS

When you leave an identified subscriber message, you can mark it with one or more of these special delivery options:

Urgent

The message is played first, before regular messages.

Private

The message cannot be redirected.

Return Receipt

The system tells you when a subscriber has heard the message.

Future Delivery

The message is delivered at the time and day you specify.
