Managed to get the Aleen Voice Mail to pick up. However, on the Panasonic side it seems that in order to activate a mail box for a set you have to turn on CFWD BUSY/NA. When you do, you can no longer use DND. The CFWD/DND button flashes instead of the regular MW light, which I suspect is due to the fact that the Aleen isn't fully integrated with the KXTA824 as a Panasonic VM would be. Does that make sense?

Also, what do you need to program on the set in order to retrieve VM messages or to transfer a call directly to another user's mail box? Programmed a flex button for the first number (115) of the VM exts. (115 & 116) which are set for circular hunting. Pressing the button gets you to the Main Daytime greeting. Assigned "9" for mail box message retrieval. Anything else that should be looked at? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance to those who post a reply.
