I need someone who can help me do some programing with our small business Norstar system--changing the main greeting, after hours greeting, mailbox issues, etc.

You need to know what extension is causing the forward directly to voice mail. Chances are that this extension has ringing lines programmed to it and the forward on busy is to voice mail. ANY PHONE THAT HAS RINGING LINES SHOULD NOT BE SET TO FORWARD ON BUSY. If they happen to be on the phone when a call comes in it will go straight to their personal mailbox.

Hi. Yes. Please call during the hours listed herein: Customer Consultants are available during business hours (9 - 9 EST, Monday-Friday).

Hi, what do you want to change? What feature is programmed on the button?

Once in the mailbox press either 9 or 99 at this point you can re record the main greeting.

First of all, there are different locations for each greeting...
and you have to know which greeting you are changing.

The greeting that you are talking about:
-> is it the CCR tree? (is says - press 1 for x, press 2 for y, press 3 for z)
-> is it the Auto Attendant? (welcome to xyz company, if you know the extension of the party dial it anytime)
-> is it the General Mail box?(please leave a message after the beep)
-> is it the receptionist mailbox?(this is the receptionist personal mailbox)

In other words, what does the greeting say, maybe that might help solve this issue.
