We have 2 lines in our office. When both lines are in use someone calling in gets a busy signal. How can I set up Norstar Talk Flash so incoming calls can go to voicemail?

set your voice mail on phone

Call TELCO that is their problem. That option is set up in the Central Telephone Office.

should you dial 9 or another access code for outside calls?

If if you dial an "outside" number on an intercom line it will look at the first 2-3 digits as another extension. You need to dial the Central Office access code, or use a line key assigned to an outside line.

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.

All depends on who it was forwarded in the first place. Not enough details given.

If answering live call and is busy signal on the other end then could be a recording from far end....call a tech in.

If voice mail message is busy signal it could be same as above or Disconnect Supervsision is not programmed on the lines and with the carrier.....this detects when caller hangs up then system knows to hang up, if does not hangup then you get busy signal.

Did you mean "Line" in use?

Caller calling Voice Mail probably tied it up.

Tech needs to program Supervision Disconnect for the line/s and Carrier must do the same so they talk to each other.
So when callers hangs up a disconnect signal tells the system to hang up.
90 percent of the time the tech had it programmed but the carrier did not.

You will need to contact whoever is in charge of your phone system and have them setup what is called a hunt group. This would be managed by IT in large businesses and usually the local phone company for small businesses.

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

You have to know how to get into programming, and it depends on the type of telephone lines you have... if you have regular analog lines, on a out bound call transfer there is going to be line degragation. Meaning that the outgoing call is not going to be of the best quality.

Secondly, you have to see how many telephone lines you have, if you have 3 analog trunks, with a call forwarding to a cell phone, you will be using up 2 lines... 1 incoming and 1 outgoing to your cell. This leaves 1 trunk for incoming or outgoing callers.
