How does voicemail work with a hosted VoIP phone system?

Hosted VoIP systems include advanced voicemail features that go far beyond a traditional answering machine. Voicemail is built into the cloud platform and accessible from any device.

VoIP voicemail features:

  • Voicemail-to-email – voicemail messages are automatically sent to your email inbox as audio attachments, so you can listen to them from anywhere
  • Voicemail transcription – some systems convert voicemail messages to text, allowing you to read them quickly without listening
  • Visual voicemail – browse, play, and manage voicemail messages through a web portal or mobile app
  • Custom greetings – record different greetings for business hours, out-of-hours, holidays, and individual extensions
  • Shared voicemail boxes – create team voicemail boxes for departments like Sales or Support
  • Voicemail PIN protection – secure access to voicemail with PIN codes

Advanced voicemail routing:

  • If a call is not answered within a set number of rings, it goes to voicemail
  • Different routing rules for different times of day or days of the week
  • Overflow to voicemail when all agents in a queue are busy
  • Option to press a key during the greeting to be transferred to a mobile or another extension

Voicemail is included at no extra cost with hosted VoIP systems from Connection Technologies. Get a quote.
