i850 voicemail question
|
|
|
| Hi,
Is it possible to program the phone to go directly
to voice mail, without delay, ringing, or "please
hold while the nextel subscriber you are trying to
reach is located"?
I have an alternate number on the phone, for those
people who I would prefer to call back at my
convenience. I don't answer it, I use this number
as a pager, and am trying to figure out how to
make it act more like one.
Thanks for any help.

| The 2nd line actually shares the voicemail with
the primary number. What you suggest is precisely
what I am trying to do, I think. It gets to the
voicemail after 3-5 rings, or sometimes it doesn't
ring and the recording says, "please hold while
the Nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is
located". I called tech support to see if they
could do something from their end to make calls to
that number only go directly to voicemail, without
affecting the other number. I was told that the
number of rings before can be extended, but not
decreased or eliminated altogether. I don't
understand that, I guess that's why I don't work
for tech support.
Is there some kind of programming/setting I can
change from the phone to do this?

| Finally figured out how to do that. Thanks for the
suggestion - works like a charm.
