You should be using system call forwarding. Set up SCF 1 for BNA, and the pilot number of the VM. Then set that extention's system call forwarding.

I've never needed any 'pauses' for VM operation.

You can try '*' followed by 1-9. So '*3' would be a three second pause... but I don't believe it will work outside of speed dials.

Are you using SMDI?

Thank you will try the star and yes i am using SMDI on the Teleco thanks for response to my problem

It's the SMDI packet that tells the Teleco if the call is being forwarded from a busy-station condition or a no-answer condition. Therefore, you will need to adjust the Teleco to treat the busy condition the same as a no-answer condition. It has nothing to do with the call forward codes.

Thank You will chat to Teleco they are very helpfull appreciate the help
