Standard Voicemail
When a call is sent to a voice mailbox, the user greeting is played and the user can leave and edit a message. vPBX notifies you of the message so you can retrieve, save, delete and even forward the message to another voice mailbox.
vPBX uses a computerised system rather than equipment at the individual telephone. Voicemail systems can be much more sophisticated than standard voicemail in that they can:
- Answer many phones at the same time
- Store incoming voice messages in personalised mailboxes associated with the phone number of the user
- Enable users to forward received messages to another voice mailbox
- Send messages to one or more other user voice mailboxes
- Add a voice introduction to a forwarded message
- Store voice messages for future delivery
- Make calls to a telephone or paging service to notify the user a message has arrived in his/her mailbox
- Provide message notification by SMS, a special dial tone, or using Caller ID signalling.
- Transfer callers to another phone number for personal assistance
- Play different message greetings to different callers
