Ability to dial any extension in a cluster from a DDI

[antific]

We have several 3300 (rev 7.1) setup in a cluster at multiple sites. All have embedded voicemail at each site.

I would like to allow an inbound caller to any site call any 4 digit extension within the cluster.

I have currently setup speed dials at one site to forward to the voicemail at the other sites. This works great, but I would need a DDI for each site at every site - so this doesn't scale well.

The goal is to have a single DDI at each site that will allow callers to call any extension at any site.

Two Questions:

1 - Would implementing Networked Voicemail (VPIM) be a solution? Are there any limitations (no. of ICPs or mailboxes)?
2 - Are there any other solutions?

Thanks in advance.

Embedded voicemail has an option to dial any extension that can be enabled. The cluster dialing plan takes care of the rest.

That works. Thanks again!
