Virtual Mailbox Key
If you frequently pick up messages from another user’s Digital Feature Phone or have someone else
monitor your mailbox, ask the user to dedicate a programmable feature key (see also
“Programmable feature keys,” page A.26) on his/her Digital Feature Phone as a Virtual Mailbox Key
for your mailbox. Then, when you have new messages, the designated key on the other user's
Digital Feature Phone will blink, whereupon you can press it to connect automatically to your
mailbox. To set the programmable feature key as a Virtual Mailbox Key, press VOICEMAIL * [your
guest mailbox number] — for example, if your guest mailbox number is 485, press VOICEMAIL * 4 8
5 on the other user's Digital Feature Phone.
You can pick up messages when away from the office or from an analog station. Since the display is
not available to you, message handling will operate slightly differently.
To retrieve your message from a remote location:
1.
If the auto attendant’s main greeting answers your call, press * and enter your mailbox number.
If the operator or another user answers your call, have the person transfer you (by pressing
VOICEMAIL and *, then pressing your station key [or entering your mailbox number] and then
hanging up).
2.
If required, enter your password.
3.
IVX will announce the number of new and old messages, and will start playback of messages
starting with the oldest new message and continue until all messages and recordings have
played or you press * to disconnect.
