Skipping the Mail Menu to Hear Messages

To immediately begin listening to voice mail, press 5 during the voice mail menu
announcement.

Returning to the Auto Attendant or Operator

When calling from outside of the VoIP system, you can escape from voice mail to
the auto attendant or operator using the star (*) key. Press * or # (as directed by the
prompts) to move from the selected option to the previous menu. When you reach
the main voice mail menu, press 9 to transfer to the main number or operator.

Zeroing Out to a Custom Operator

When callers reach your voice mail, you can give them the option to leave a
message or dial zero (0) and reach your custom operator (which may be the auto
attendant or another phone number). By default, the system will route callers to the
auto attendant when they press zero. You can change the destination from the
voice mail main menu.
TIP: When you record your greetings, be sure to tell callers than they can
press zero (0) to be transferred to the auto attendant or to your designated
alternate phone number.
NOTE: This feature is not supported for stand-alone mailboxes.
To hear or change where pressing zero (0) goes, follow these steps:
1. Access the voice mail system.
2. Press 16 to access the Mailbox Options menu.
3. Press 5 to hear or change your custom operator selection.
4. You should hear an announcement that your custom operator is a phone
number you previously programmed or the default selection.
NOTE: If a custom operator is not available, you will hear a message to that
effect.
