How can i Setup Small Mailbox for two companies
Client has a R4 with 308EC module they have either Small Voice or large (don't remember) PCMCI
Card and 6 Co Lines.
They want first 3 to answer by First Company and 2 three by 2nd company.
But they also want greetings
on 1st 3 lines they want Company A on 2nd 3 lines company B.
Now if you reach Company a there are 2 Extentions on Company B Also 2 Extentions.
 
The PC Mail Card (both small and large) only have 1 Auto-Attendant. Both companies cannot have an auto-attendant. You could assign certain lines to specific extensions so when a caller called line 1 it could go directly into a mailbox vs. the attendant. When a caller called in on line 2 it could go to the attendant.
 
Try this, set up company A to use the AA.
For company B, set up the calls to go to an actual ext., or to an ext without a phone plugged into it. It can also ring other exts., but set it to have the VM box answer after the number of rings you desire. In that VM box record a greeting as if it were an AA. Inform the caller through that greeting to press*8XX to transfer to an ext. number=XX.
It has limits, but with a small company that may be a cost effective, limited function solution.

You do not always get what you pay for, but you never get what you do not pay for.
