Calling back a voice message
When you call back a voice message, Strata CS places a call to the extension or external phone
number of the person who left you the message. In cases where multiple numbers are available
for the person—for example, a callback number and a Caller ID number—Strata CS prompts
you to choose which one to dial.
Note: If the system cannot dial the callback number, see your Strata CS system administrator.
The call dialing rules set up by your Strata CS system administrator may need to be changed.
To call back a voice message
1. Press 4 3 or 4 4 while or after a message plays (4 4 deletes the message in addition to
calling the person back).
2. If you are calling back a message that was forwarded to you, Strata CS prompts you to
choose whom to call back—the person who forwarded the message or the original
caller.
3. Strata CS offers you a default number to call. To dial that number, press 1. To choose
from a list of other numbers associated with the caller, press
2. If the caller is a Strata
CS contact, the list includes all the contact’s numbers. See
“Managing contacts” on
page 16-4.
After talking to the caller, if you remain on the phone you will be returned to the voice message
menu so that you can delete the message or move on to the next message. To end a call and
remain on the phone, bypassing the voice message menu, press
Flash 3 or wait for the other
party to hang up.
