I had this happen today with a customer, not sure of the VM but it was on an 8X24 where you could enter an Ext# while listening to Greeting 1 but not while listening to a Path in CCR.
We figured out * then the ext # worked to be tranferred from a Path in CCR.
I am/was not not sure what cause's this off the bat but I know of 2 previous times that I have heard greetings on non bix related sites where you were asked to press * then the ext# on Norstar VM's.
I blamed it being too old of a VM and dismissed the call lol.
Intresting in this case, if dkdivot proves one or the other I will do the same somewhat but suggest dkdivot tries a * just to see if same problem.
Yes, you will need to * to the AA from a ccr tree, or path in that tree. Make sure return to AA is enabled, or include the path 0 recording in your AA greeting.
I always figured that was because the system is waiting for a dtmf selection in the ccr, and that prohibits dialing an extension from there. Other systems have a half second or so dtmf delay before it accepts an entry, and you won't have this issue.
