Transferring a Call to a Mailbox
When you answer a call and the caller wants to talk to someone who is not
available, you can place the caller into one of the mailboxes, where the caller can
leave a message.
Tell the outside caller you will transfer him or her to the desired party’s mailbox.
Remind the caller to press # (the pound sign) and the mailbox number of the
desired party (if necessary).
• Even if you subscribe to Caller ID service (p. 34), Caller ID information will not be
displayed while the message is being played. The Caller ID information will be
recorded in the Caller List (p. 37) if the transferred call is an incoming call.

the mailbox.
