Pressing “#” to Leave a Message at the Auto Attendant

To allow users to press “#” to leave a message at the auto attendant:

1Follow the instructions on page 75 for recording your Auto Attendant OGM. Be sure to include a phrase such as “To leave a message in the general mailbox, please press the “#” button.”

2Whenever callers dial “#” during the Auto Attendant OGM, they will be able to leave a message at the Auto Attendant.

The Auto Attendant messages do not have any beep at the end, and will not normally record any message. However, if the caller presses “#” while listening to an Auto Attendant message, the phone will play its ANS OGM and allow the caller to leave a message

All you need to do is include a phrase such as “To leave a message, please press “#”” as part of your Auto Attendant message.

Note that the caller will be able to leave a mes- sage of the length you have set as the message length (see page 70). If you set the message length as ANNC ONLY, the caller will not be able to press “#” to leave a message.
