I'm working on an Axxess 9.1 system, and Here's what's desired: A DID that goes to a hunt group - if the call is unanswered in the hunt group after so many seconds it needs to go to a voicemail box. Sounds easy enough, right?

Well, when the call was unanswered by the hunt group it never went to voicemail (which I had routed via a CRA assigned as the Overflow) and the call would eventually be disconnected by the teleco.

So I set it up to transfer to the hunt group from a CRA. I have the DID pointed to the CRA which then points to the Hunt Group and when the overflow timer hits it goes to Voicemail, just as I want - BUT callers hear a "Please wait while your call is transferred to ext xxxx". I don't want that. I set the "Auto Attendant Transfer Prompt" to "No" in the Voice Processor section. I even gave it 24 hours and had it perform a reset overnight and the prompt still plays.

Any suggestions on solving this using any method is appreciated. I bet I'm probably missing something obvious, but I just can't see it.

I have set this up before and found that problem if using the Overflow or Announcement to send the call to the CRA. If I use the Recall in the Hunt Group I believe it will work like you want. I think it has something to do with when you use the Overflow or the Announcement to do this, the call stays in the Hunt Group so it will not follow the CRA Timeout Destination. Using the Recall from the Hunt Group takes the call out of the Hunt Group.

The announcement and overflow fields should never be a terminating route. In other words, they play prompts and back out. The recall is the proper way to do this.

What extension is it announcing? The voice mail app?

That makes sense - I set it up as suggested and it works fine. Thank you.

It was announcing the transfer to the extension of the voicemail box.
