i am under the gun and trying to figure out the best way to do this. I need to give someone a 212 #, which means I need to give him a POTS line as we don't own any #s in 212 area code. I also need to have this number go to another DN on a no answer,and if that second DN doesn't answer i need it to go to this person's voicemail. I built my PVR key and put it on my phone as a test and when i call the POTS line it rings my phone, which is great. But, how can I do the rest of this stuff? should I use a non-212 DID instead and have Verizon point the POTS line to the non-212 DID #? because I can control what the non-212 DID does but I can't seem to control the POTS line. I built it as a PVR AND as a dummy 500 and made the dummy 500 go to v/m and PBX accepted the programming, but I just get ring no answer when I call it. please give me your expert advice. Thankyo

Why not build the pots line as a CO and via the ATDN prompt send the call to whatever extn. you want and build voice mail from there.

Keep in mind that with only one trunk 2nd simultaneous caller will get busy.
