With this feature, you can customize what message you are sending with the voicemail since it may not always be a worker or customer calling consistently. The functionality of having the voicemail logged for your convenience is peace of mind for business that fear of losing new prospects because they did not get the message right away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\"><strong>2.

The trick to have a great automated attendant is keeping the call directing menu short with only a 15 second conversation with customer service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\">3.

Make sure your Hosted PBX provider confirms that you would be able to automatically forward calls to various destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\">4.
