Voicemail Collect

This feature connects to the voicemail system. Normally the telephone number field is used to indicate the name of the mailbox to be accessed, for example "?Extn201" or "#Extn201". The ? indicates 'collect messages' and the # indicates 'leave a message'. Placing the text within quote marks stops it being interpreted by the IP Office as special short code characters.

When using Voicemail Pro, names of specific call flow start points can also be used to directly access those start points via a short code. In these cases, ? is not used and # is only used if ringing is required before the start point's call flow begins.

Note: Short codes using the Voicemail Collect feature, with either "Short Codes.name" and "#Short Codes.name" entries in theTelephone Number field are automatically converted to the Voicemail Node feature and name.
