Sometimes it can be useful to prevent callers from being forwarded to your mailbox when you are on the telephone or do not answer. You can switch voicemail off and back on again when you need it. For more information, see Switching Voicemail On or Off.
Your system administrator can set up an option so that if callers are directed to your voicemail you can give the them the option to transfer to a different extension, for example to reception. For more information, see Giving Callers a Transfer Option.
