Phone terminal operations

Starting version 2.5.1, if your extension has the Voicemail feature enabled and you dial your own number from your extension, you are automatically redirected to the mailbox. You will only be required to enter the password. |
Same behavior happens when you press the Voicemail button on your phone terminal's keypad, if available. For example, the Snom devices have a button labeled Retrieve (or Messages on newer models) which, when pressed, retrieves your extension's voicemail messages from the VoipNow Professional server.
| Dial | To | Description |
|---|---|---|
| *95 | Listen to your voicemail messages | If the voicemail feature is enabled for your extension, then you can dial *95 from your extension's keypad to manage the voicemail messages. First, you are required to provide the voicemail password and, after logging in, you will be able to listen and delete messages using the integrated menu. The mailbox management features are also available in the VoipNow Professional web interface, in the Mailbox area. The mailbox can also be accessed when calling your extension from another internal number or from an external terminal by pressing the * key after hearing the voicemail welcome message. |
| *950 | Enable or disable your voicemail | If the voicemail feature is enabled for your extension and you want to disable it, or if it is disabled and you wish to enable it, then dial *950 from your nextension's keypad. A message will inform you about the performed action. The mailbox management features are also available in the VoipNow Professional web interface, in the Mailbox area. |
| *95EXTENSION_NUMBER | Directly call an extension's voicemail | You can use this code to leave a message to an extension without actually calling that extension. This feature is useful when you want to leave a message to an extension without waiting the pre-established number of seconds for the voicemail to automatically answer. |
| #3EXTENSION_NUMBER | Transfer an active call to an extension's voicemail | You can use this code when an extension receives a call and cannot handle it. The called extension can then transfer the active call directly to the voicemail of a particular extension where the caller's issue can be addressed. |
