Placing a call with Thru-Dial

With Thru-Dial you can call another number while you are logged on to your mailbox, or if you call someone's extension and reach their voicemail.

Note: Thru-Dial is available only if you use the CallPilot interface.

If you use the Norstar Voice Mail interface, Thru-Dial is not available.

The System Administrator can restrict the numbers that you can dial, so ask your System Administrator if you can use Thru-Dial.

When to use Thru-Dial

When you are making a call, you can make a second call without hanging up and dialing a second number by using Thru-Dial. This is especially useful if you are at a pay phone.

Use Thru-Dial if you want callers to be able to dial another number to reach your Target Attendant, (which you can change to be an out-of-office number) or maybe another contact person if you're not available.

When you are making calls from a hotel you can avoid toll charges by using Thru-Dial to call other extensions from one call.

Examples of using Thru-Dial

Pat calls her mailbox from a pay phone and hears an urgent message from Joe. Without hanging up, Pat can Thru-Dial Joe’s number and doesn't have to pay for another call.

Pat is away from the office and needs to leave messages for Jill and Bob in the office. Pat can call Jill's mailbox, leave a message, then Thru-Dial to Bob and leave a message.

Pat calls Doris and gets her voicemail. Pat knows that Andy can provide the information she needs, so Pat Thru-Dials to Andy from Doris' mailbox.
