On one install I did, I had a hundred or so mailboxes with no extensions. I felt using valid extensions for phoneless locations just to provide voicemail a waste of resources. I built a 300 and 400 group of mailboxes in the voice mail system. I then provided a VTR button to handle these voicemail boxes simply by providing in programming of the VM box sending all calls to VM. It worked great and is in use today. I programmed the button as VTR but it was really a speed dial #8* (?) under the button, then the operator puts in the proper VM # 300 and 400 series. When a call comes into the business mind you, it is 100% auto attendant most of the time so the custom menu is set to enter a mailbox at any time... Hope this helps..Brad

This method will allow people in the office to be able to use VTR or voicemail transfer to send calls to his mailbox: 1. change his actual ext number to a different (available) number. 2. create a phantom extension with the same number as his mailbox. 3. either turn on "call blocking" from within his mailbox (call transfer features or something like that), or through pc programming set his box to "all calls transfer to mailbox". 4. relax and enjoy the praise from everyone as they confirm that you are still the wizard who can do anything with phones. (If you don't need VTR, then you will not need to create a phantom ext.) cp ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Lesher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "KXT Mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 12:34 PM Subject: KX-T: VM without PT set? > > KXDT1232/TVS > > So I've avoided reassigning numbers; keeping 1xx as PT's and 2xx's > as POTS.
