Virtual Station and Voice Mail

[jefflad]

If I set up a virtual station and have voicemail assigned to it how do I access the voicemail allocated to that station?

I'm thinking rather than assigning a physical desk station I could assign a virtual one and then anyone can access the mailbox when needed rather than one person drawing the short straw!

dial the voicemail hunt group enter extension and then password, you also could set up outcalling to alert you when new messages are left

Thanks but when I dial the Voicemail huntgroup number and enter the number of the virtual station it prompts me to leave a message for that extension rather than access the messages stored.

 

[joe2938]

is this extension part of your dial plan extensions?

 

[jefflad]

Ahh, looks like I need to press # before entering the station extension.

 

[joe2938]

so you got in ok?

 

[jefflad]

Yeah, just tested there as I had to reset my VM password for the v-stat.... I just wasn't listening to the prompt fully and needed the # whereas entering the extension took me straight to leave a VM for the stat.

Thanks for all your help!
