does your office phone have a button to send

[Deleted]

people straight to voicemail?  you know, if you're on the other line or something?

anyway, my husband called while i was on the line and i diverted him to voicemail.

he just sent me a text:  i know you sent me to voicemail.  i will remember this.


he's a nutbar.

lol. yes. I use mine more often than I actually answer the phone. Bureaucrats FTW

[Kristinmo]

Yes. And that's so something my DH would say. I use it all the time.

I wish it did. For some reason my VM doesn't pick up until the 14'th ring. It's annoying as hell.

[VillainV]

It probably does, but I don't know how to use it, nor do I know how to set up or check voicemail. Messages are what email is for anyway, right?

[laceandlouboutins]

I'm laughing at "I will remember this."

No, sadly. And my receptionist will always pick up after three rings if I don't pick up. Sometimes I'm able to send her a chat message real quick to send that person to voicemail but she still always picks up. They're pretty anal about phones being answered.

I have no idea! But I'm going to look into this.

i wish this was a button in real life. like, in face to face interaction. a "send away" button.

I KNOW.  that would rock.

We just got phones with this button. I absolutely love it

[glassofsyrah]

We don't have that but I desperately wish we did.  Instead, I just sigh super dramatically before answering super politely.

[sweetday]

Ooh. Yes I love that button.

I have a do not disturb button that stops my phone from ringing when i push it and sends everyone to VM till I push it again.

If I am on the other line, it goes to VM in 2 rings. But if I'm not on the phone, it only takes 4 rings or so to go to VM so I've never tried to find a button like that. And then if they leave a VM, I get an email transcribing their VM and it is fabulous.

Yes.
I use it a lot. I kind of hate being on the phone.
