Urgent Message
Description
A Subscriber or Guest Mailbox user can leave an Urgent Message for a co-worker for priority handling.
When the Urgent Message recipient logs onto their mailbox, they hear, “You have an Urgent Message.” If
they dial
L (5) to listen to the message, they hear, “This is an Urgent Message.” An urgent message automat-
ically goes to the top of the recipient’s new message list, assuring that it will be the first message the recipi-
ent listens to when they log onto their mailbox.
Urgent Message Status
Urgent Message Status can optionally provide the mailbox user with the status of Urgent Messages they
have sent. When the user sends an urgent message, voice mail can wait a programmed interval (called the
Urgent Message Return Time) to determine if the recipient has listened to the message. If not, when the user
dials
L to listen to their messages, voice mail will play a voice prompt indicating that the urgent message has
not been heard. It will then play a copy of the urgent message.
