Message Center Mailboxes
Description
A Message Center Mailbox lets an outside caller leave a recorded message through the Automated
Attendant without dialing any codes. The caller hears the Message Center's recorded Welcome
Message and a beep. After the beep sounds, the caller can leave a message. A Message Center
Mailbox is primarily a “catch-all” type of mailbox for callers who dial the Automated Attendant
from a rotary dial phone.
At some point in the day, someone in the company should call (log onto) the Message Center Mail-
box, listen to each message, and forward each one to the appropriate person's mailbox.
Availability:
All versions of the NT Voice Mail.
Notes:
• To record a Welcome Message for the Message Center Mailbox, use the Sys-
tem Administrator’s Menu.
• To let callers reach a Message Center Mailbox through the Automated Atten-
dant, see Message Center Mailbox on page 111.
• For information on calling a Message Center Mailbox, see the User's Guide. A
Message Center Mailbox has access to all the features in the User's Guide
except these: record and send a message (by pressing
RS
), record a reply to a
message (by pressing
RE
), record a mailbox greeting (by pressing
G
), record a
future delivery message (by pressing
FD
).
• An extension user can transfer an outside caller to a Message Center Mailbox.
See Transferring a Call to a Mailbox in the User's Guide. This type of transfer is
allowed only if the Message Center Mailbox number falls into the extension
numbering Plan of the phone system.

• To record names for the Message Center Mailboxes or to record a Broadcast
Message, use the System Administrator’s Menu. The Broadcast Message plays
to all Subscriber, Message Center, Future Delivery and Guest Mailboxes.
• After leaving a message, a Touch Tone caller can press # to exit the Message
Center Mailbox and reroute their call. The way the Voice Mail reroutes the call
depends on how the caller reached the Message Center Mailbox. If the caller
reached the Message Center Mailbox through a Call Routing or Directory Dial-
ing Mailbox, pressing # sends them back to the Instruction Menu for that mail-
box. If a caller reached a Message Center Mailbox through an Answering
Schedule Table, pressing # sends the caller to the Next Call Routing Mail-
box. See Subscriber’s Mailbox for a description of the Next Call Routing
Mailbox
onpage 267.
• A Touch Tone caller can also dial 0 after leaving a message in a Message Center
Mailbox as long as a Next Call Routing Mailbox is assigned.
