Setting up general voice mailboxes
Some organizations, such as the sales team of a company, may have the need to share voice mails within multiple users or a user group for better service and efficiency. With a general voice mailbox, when there is a new voice mail, the entire group is copied or notified. Any member of the group can access the voice mail and once this is done, the notification is gone and others know that the voice mail has been taken care of.
