Voicemail :: HOWTO Accessing Voicemail From Outside

To access 'Voicemail' from outside by using the ‘Remote Access’ option, users can utilize IVR and/or DID.

IVR

Please navigate to a desired Tenant → 'Home' → 'IVR' → 'Add IVR'.

In order to complete the configuration successfully, please set up the following fields as suggested:

1. 'Destination Type' → 'Remote Access'

2. 'Destination' → 'Voicemail'

Once you enter the number that you configured in IVR, you will be asked for an Extension number and PIN, after which you will be able to check voicemail and change the voicemail settings accordingly.

DID

Please navigate to Master Tenant → 'Home' → 'DIDs' → 'Add DID'.

To set up configuration further, please navigate to a desired 'Tenant' → 'Home' → 'DIDs' → Select a newly added 'DID'.
