No important call is lost, the personal mailbox takes your calls and

• greets the caller with a personal greeting
• offers the caller the possibility to leave a message

For example:

"You are connected to the Klaus Mustermann line. I'm not at my desk at the moment, please leave a message after the tone, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

You can choose up to 9 different announcements. The selection of the greeting used can be manual, day/night/weekday dependent and controlled depending on the type of call. This allows an individual adaptation of your mailbox to your personal workflow.

If you want to forward incoming calls to your voicemail, you must set up "Redirect All Calls" and/or "Redirect Do Not Answer" on your telephone set with destination *78.

Configuring "Call forwarding All Calls
>> Press the Forwarding key > Edit call forwarding > All calls > Press the right arrow > Enter destination (alternative: select *21*78)
Setting up "Call Forwarding after no reply"
>> Press the Forwarding key > Edit call forwarding > Do not answer > Press right > Enter destination (alternatively: *61*78)

• in case of "call forwarding after no reply", an automatic call forwarding to the voicemail box will take place after 4 rings!
