Automated Attendant Service is set up to transfer calls to the
General Mailbox when a caller presses [ 0 ] (zero) or does not press

Automated Attendant Service attempts to transfer a call to a busy
extension that does not have a voice mailbox.
The person designated as the General Mailbox owner forwards the messages
from the General Mailbox to the intended recipient. The recipient must be a
voice mail subscriber. If a message is left in the General Mailbox for a person
who is not a subscriber, the General Mailbox owner will need to deliver the
message to the person in some other way.
A copy of the instructions for forwarding General Mailbox messages should
be given to the person designated as the General Mailbox owner. These
instructions are included at the back of this guide.
