My message button automatically calls another extension How do I get it back to answer my voicemail

To change the behavior of the message button on a Panasonic KX-DT543 phone, you will need to access the programming menu and change the settings for that button.

1. Press the 'Menu' button on the phone.
2. Press the '#' button followed by the 'Admin' button.
3. Enter the administrator password.
4. Press the 'Menu' button again, then select 'System Programming'.
5. Scroll through the options and select 'Button Assignment'.
6. Find the button labeled 'Message' and select it.
7. Change the extension number to the desired voicemail extension.
8. Press the 'Save' button to confirm the changes.

It's possible that when you cleared the forward on no answer, the voicemail setting on your Samsung iDCS 28D was not properly restored. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check your voicemail settings: Dial 604 and press the "Speaker" button. Enter your extension number and press the "Speaker" button again. The system should confirm that you have entered the correct extension number. If it does not accept your extension, try dialing from a different phone to make sure that your extension is still active.
2. Verify your call routing: Dial 601 and press the "Speaker" button. This will show you the current call routing for your extension. Verify that "No Answer" is set to go to your voicemail box. If it is not, you can change it by pressing the "Speaker" button and entering the appropriate code for voicemail (usually "72").
3. Restart the phone system: If the above steps do not work, try restarting the phone system. You can do this by unplugging the power cable from the phone system for a few seconds and then plugging it back in.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact your phone system administrator or IT support for further assistance.

If, perhaps you mean "it rings another one of our..." Phone Extensions, then just press the illuminated red message button, go to the ringing phone (the extension number will appear on your phone if you have a display phone) and answer the call by lifting the phone off-hook, then hang it up. Now the message button on your phone will work normally. What happened was that the user of the phone that was ringing when you pressed the button had inadvertently left you a "message waiting" after they called your phone on the intercom. By pressing the message button on your phone, you returned their call, and by answering the return call, you cleared the message waiting indication on your phone. There can be more than one message waiting, so if the light is still on after you clear the first call, using the procedure above, do it again and again until each call is returned, answered and cleared.

I understand that you would like to bypass Auto Attendant for your lines.

Ok, well I can explain most of the programming template, but I cannot give you the exact buttons to push since each phone IS programmed differently.

-> first dial FEATURE 985 this will give you the DN(Extn) for the voicemail (record this number) and then RLS
-> now I need you to dial FEATURE 0 on your set, and press the Intercom key to ensure the extension of your set you want to change and then hit RLS.

To get into programming press FEATURE 2 6 6 3 4 4
-> Password: 2 6 6 3 4 4
Now you will see 3 arrows on your LCD
<- Heading Enter->
<- Back Next->

-> you will now see TERMINALS&SETS and press Enter (the top right arrow key) now put in the extn that you want to change.
-> you should now see the extension of the set and the name that is associated with it, press Enter (the top right arrow key) again
-> now you will see LINE ACCESS and press Next (the bottom right arrow)
-> then you will see CAPABILITIES and press Enter. now you will see FWD NO ANSWER and press Enter, and put in the DN of the voicemail you saw with the Feature 985
-> hit Next for the number of rings you want to ring at the set before going to voicemail.
-> hit next and you can now RLS to back out of programming.

Voila, that set once called will now goto voicemail.

-OR-

You can get the receptionist to dial FEATURE 9 8 6 and the extension to transfer directly to someone's voicemail.

You must turn off Automatic extension Privacy off on the voicemail extensions. If you have no idea what that is, then I would suggest calling in a local vendor, as it is a little difficult to do over a forum...

I think an autodial button for that co-worker may be stuck, try jiggling the autodial buttons to unstick it.

When calling in from outside, at the welcome message, dial # > 9 > then the extension to be reached, ie: #,9,120

You will hear a different answer message, and be able to access your voicemail.
