Partner PC card messaging transfer

[chicagotechsolutions]

Hi, I just had a quick question, can partner PC card messaging tansfer a caller from AA directly to a users mailbox. Heres the scenario:

I have 4 family memebers, when a call rings thru, all house phones ring simultaneously. After 4 rings the AA picks up and asks the caller to select who they want to leave their msg for. Once the caller selects an option it transfers directly to a mailbox without ringing the associated phone.

Would i just drop a #14 in front of each extension in the programming? Keep in mind that i dont have this card on hand yet, im just trying to determine what it can do. Any help is appreciated! Thanks again!

No, you can't transfer directly to a mailbox with the PC Card voice mail.

You could have "phantom" mailboxes, but then you wouldn't get MW lights.

You could set the VMS Cover rings to 1, but then if you used ringing Intercom (as opposed to Voice Announce), Intercoms cover to VM on the 2nd Ring.

You could put the phones in DND, but then you'd miss the initial call ringing in.

Yup, it's a conundrum.
