You need to be on a call to use this feature. Once on a call:
1. Dial *1, then the extension number
2. Hang up
Note: A blind transfer is used when you want to transfer a call to an extension and you have no need for giving the person you are transferring the call to a warning about who is on the line for them. To be able to warn someone of the person you are transferring to them use Call Transfer sometimes called Attended Transfer
You need to be on a call to use this feature. Using this feature will transfer a call directly to a user’s voicemail box. Once on a call:
1. Dial *9 (star, 9) + 3-digit extension and #.
2. The call will go directly the the extension voicemail box and will not ring at the extension.
This feature is useful to use either when you know someone doesn’t want to be disturbed or you know someone isn’t around to answer their phone.
Call Park or Hold:
The nature of IP based phone systems doesn’t allow for the usual hold that people have gotten used to with traditional phone systems. The way we accommodate the hold function is with Call Park.
1. Press *7 and the system will give you a bin number starting with 7001.
2. To retrieve the call from any system phone dial the bin number
eg. 7001, Press ‘Dial’
After using this feature awhile you will realize you won’t need to wait for the automated system to give you the bin number although if your office is receiving high call volume then it is advised to wait for the specific bin number of the call you just parked. The bin numbers will range from 7001 to 7009 and beyond as needed.
