Enable or Disable Sending Voice Messages on a UM Dial Plan

  • Article

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can enable users who are enabled for Unified Messaging (UM) to send voice messages to other UM-enabled users who are associated with the same dial plan, or prevent them from doing so.

By default, this option is enabled. If you disable this setting and disable the Allow callers to transfer users setting, the options under Callers can contact will also be disabled. If you disable this option, an auto attendant associated with the UM dial plan won't invite callers to send a voice message when a system prompt is played.
