Hi KenMeans,

I created the mailbox type 30 and used the configuration you've provided. I am getting the following prompts:

1. To be transfer to an extension, please spell the name of the person you're calling
2. If you have a mailbox on the system, please press #.

I would like to prompt callers with options. As follow:

1. To be transfer to an extension, pleas enter it now.
2. Or press * (star) to spell by name.
3. If you have a mailbox on the system, please press #.

Thank you,

Russ05
 
Well you will need to change the mailbox option from spell name to dial ext and then record a greeting in the mailbox to say what you want. Then add a 2nd mb set like this one for spell name and add it in the * key def and mailbox number so if you hit * it will take the caller to the 2nd mailbox.

You may want to consider a type 31 or type 32. You can give the caller 1 through 9 options as well as dial by extension (type 31) or dial by mailbox (type 32).
