+ | ====== Voicemail ====== | ||
+ | There are many ways to manage voicemails in the ring-u small business phone system. First, let's clear up some potential confusion. | ||
+ | ==== Which voicemail box do messages fall in to? ==== | ||
+ | {{ :: | ||
+ | Every extension on your phone system has its own voicemail box. | ||
+ | This is selected individually from each extension under the **" | ||
+ | Every extension and group has this option, and you can point the action to other phones, groups, other phones' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **//A quick note: If your phone has a voicemail indicator light or some kind of Message Waiting Indicator (MWI), that will only indicate if there is a new message in that extension' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== The Company Mailbox ==== | ||
+ | The easiest way to understand the Company Mailbox is to see it as an extension on the system without a phone attached. Since every phone on the system has its own voicemail box that will activate if the phone is unreachable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The company mailbox was created to have a common voicemail box for calls to groups that go unanswered. Since these calls never reach a particular person, it makes sense to send them to the voicemail box for the company. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Caveats: ===== | ||
+ | **Things that are important to us, and should be important to you:** | ||
+ | * Transcription works reliably and usefully. | ||
+ | * Transcription works quickly enough to be useful. | ||
+ | * We (ring-u.com) does not store your voicemail recordings or transcriptions longer than is useful to make it work. Currently this is a 30 minute window. It allows us to monitor and tune things if it breaks. | ||
+ | * We try to remove the wav files and transcription jobs from Amazon (our BFG) as quickly as possible. As soon as your transcription is received typically. | ||
+ | * **You should not use voicemail transcription, | ||
