You said using the # feature gives you the ability to not lose a call if you dial an invalid extension but that doesn't work for me.
When I dial # and enter an invalid extension I want it to sy ' invalid extension' to ME and ask me to reenter one. Instead if I dial # (or transfer button) and enter an invalid extension it plays ' invalid extension ' to the CALLER and asks THEM to reenter an extension number and the call is lost from me. Any ideas?
