Can a large mail be programmed to answer and just leave a message like a regular answering machine? Yeah I know Hal is gonna crack up with this question and I thought it was weird because I have never come across this but I have a customer who wants an ACS in their house and they have the equipment and the large mail but they only want it to answer and be able to leave a message. What can I do.
Thanks,
Dave

Give a ringing phone a vms cover button and program line cover ext for the line you need the ext to answer.

I had a customer once that had a full blown mail VS and wanted to do the same thing. Had to be the worlds most expensive answering machine.

I have one for my home as well as my office. I know it is alittle over the top but it works.

Geeze, at least do an AA menu for your company and make the callers think you are bigger than you are. Give them some options even if they all go to your extension.

If you have outcalling set up an emergency mailbox and have it call your cell. That way you can screen the calls.

You can also set up an AA for the house, a mailbox for you, your wife, kids...

What better way to let your friends and neighbors know that you are a phone guy than by driving them nuts when they call! :thumb:

i installed a home AA that even had a mailbox for the friggin' dog.

My cat has a prescription at the local CVS for meds and he actually does get calls and mail!
