4.3 DIVERTING CALLS TO VOICE MAIL

4.3.1 Diverting Calls to Your Voice Mail


To ensure that callers to your own number are directed to your Voice Mailbox, where they can
leave a message, you will need to set up a divert to 74747. For those used to answering
machines, setting up a divert to 74747 can be likened to switching the answering on, and
cancelling that divert to switching it off again.

To divert your Voice Mailbox, the telephone number you set the divert to is always 74747.

The code *8 to ‘divert all calls’ (immediately on answer) works on all types of phone, as does #8 to
‘cancel divert on all calls’. So you can use:

*8 74747

divert all calls immediately on answer to my Voice Mailbox

#8

stop diverting all my calls


Although simple to set up, you might only use those when away for some time, because you have
to remember to set them up and cancel them. A far more convenient type of divert is the
conditional divert. Refer to the appropriate Telephone User Guide available at

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/its/facilities/telecommunications/

for details of the different types of

divert you can set up.

Perhaps the most useful facility for use in conjunction with Voice Mail is the ‘divert internal and
external calls on no reply’ (after 5 rings). This can be set up with *36, so you would use *36 74747
to get all your unanswered calls diverted automatically to your Voice Mail box. The advantage with
this is that you can do it once and then not think about it again.
