A Call Answer Service or Transfer-Only mailbox can have a Personal Operator to
handle calls if a caller dials [

For Call Answer Service mailboxes, callers can dial [ 0 ] before, during, or after
leaving a message.
For Transfer-Only mailboxes, callers can dial [ 0 ] while the mailbox greeting is
playing or up to four seconds after the greeting has finished playing.
A Personal Operator can be any extension that has a mailbox, or it can be a mailbox
of the following types:

pressing [
0
