Direct Voice Mail allows you to place or transfer a call directly to another person’s
voice mail without ringing that person’s telephone.
You can either transfer an active call to an extension’s voice mail or place an
intercom call directly to the extension’s voice mail. Activating Direct Voice Mail
while on hook selects the next available SA or ICOM button (at least one SA or
ICOM button must be available). To activate Direct Voice Mail, do one of the
following:
■
Press the programmed Direct Voice Mail button and press a DSS button or
Auto Dial button, or select a Directory entry for the extension.
■
Press the programmed Direct Voice Mail button and dial the extension
number.
■
Press the Feature button, select
Direct VM
[
DrcVM
], and dial the
extension number.
■
For a single-line telephone only:
— If active on a call, press the Flash or Recall button (or if your telephone
does not have positive disconnect, press and release the switchhook).
Then dial
#56
followed by the extension number.
— If you hear dial tone, dial
#56
followed by the extension number.
On display telephones, the display shows the message
Send Voice Mail to:
before the extension is selected or dialed.
The green LED associated with the Direct Voice Mail button lights when the
feature is activated. The LED turns off when the feature is deactivated (by
pressing the Direct Voice Mail button again) or when the call or transferred call
has gone to voice mail.
