I have Intramail running on a UX5000. The client has an option on the auto-attendant that allows a caller to press "2" to get directions to their site. (Used by truckers bringing in freight) Once they get to that box - the directions are given along with a prompt to press "9" if they want the directions repeated. I have the 9 in the dial action table set to go back to that mailbox (UTRF) - so it will repeat the message. It does that, but not until after the Intramail system says "That is an invalid entry". Many times, the caller hears that and hangs up........ I know I can change this to an announcement mailbox that just keeps repeating until the caller hangs up - but the client really is hung up on this press 9 to repeat thing......... looking for suggestions on how to make that work without the error message.

Thanks dans - so if I understand correctly, I can use the GO TO function to repeat the greeting - even though I am going to the same mailbox they are already in? The way I have it set up right now is they press 2 from auto attendant and route to directions mailbox 3020. They are told in that announcement that they may press 9 at any time to repeat the directions...... I have been using UTRF in the dial action table....
I will give the GO TO function a try.

Anytime I use sub menus for instructional or announcement mailboxes I set the transfer type as goto.
UTRF is used for transfer to extensions
The dial 9 option is foolish when any announcement mailbox can be setup to repeat once or multiple times.

But you know how the end users can be about things.....they want what they want, doesn't matter if it makes no sense. I wonder why they need a "directions" box anyway. I would think pretty much every truck driver now has a GPS in their rig........
