Voicemail Pro 8.0 - Announce calling number before message

[splittingcodec]

Hello,

Hoping to get some help on a support issue that's currently boggling my mind.

I have a customer running Windows Voicemail Pro, Version 8.0(6001) that has ran into an issue with what seems to be a long standing feature of their system.

This is something in particular that I haven't dealt with before, so any input is greatly appreciated. The client is stating that, up until very recently, they had a feature of the VM system that would give an automated announcement stating the phone number that called in when a user plays a voicemail. It would be something like this: (Automated Voice) CALL FROM: 555 867 5309 (Voicemail Message Plays) Hello, this is XYZ calling about ABC, please give me a call back as soon as you can, etc.

I'm looking all over in voicemail pro Administration settings, Manager configuration, and here on Tek-Tips for a resolution, but at this time i am stumped. Anybody out here familiar with this function on Avaya? Or is it possible that this was supplied by an outside service?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance

[tt]is there a whisper option? somewhere in the call flow before the delivery point?[/tt]

There are no whisper options anywhere in the callflow. Most of their traffic routes through their main numbers which point to *80 for the Day Menu. From there, their prompts just go to basic transfer actions with no entry prompts or anything fancy.

That's just the header in the voice mail playback -

Voice Call from: 123 456 7890
Received 7 59 pm Wednesday June 27
40 seconds
To listen press 0
To save, press **R
To delete, press *D
To skip, press #

Resolution here:

The telco provider, for whatever reason, had disabled inbound CLID on the system. Once I ran sysmon and saw that all inbound calls were showing 'withheld', I had them re-enable it. Once CLID was working again, the header came back up as designed.

Thanks all for your help on this one.
