Placing a call with Thru-Dial
With Thru-Dial you can call another number while you are logged on to your mailbox, or if you
call someone's extension and reach their voicemail.
When to use Thru-Dial
When you are making a call, you can make a second call without hanging up and dialing a second
number by using Thru-Dial. This is especially useful if you are at a pay telephone.
Use Thru-Dial if you want callers to be able to dial another number to reach your Target Attendant,
(which you can change to be an out-of-office number) or maybe another contact person if you're
not available.
When you are making calls from a hotel you can avoid toll charges by using Thru-Dial to call other
extensions from one call.
Examples of using Thru-Dial
•
Pat calls her mailbox from a pay telephone and hears an urgent message from Joe. Without
hanging up, Pat can Thru-Dial Joe's number and doesn't have to pay for another call.
•
Pat is away from the office and needs to leave messages for Jill and Bob in the office. Pat can
call Jill's mailbox, leave a message, then Thru-Dial to Bob and leave a message.
•
Pat calls Doris and gets her voicemail. Pat knows that Andy can provide the information she
needs, so Pat Thru-Dials to Andy from Doris' mailbox.
