Setting Up Outcalling

About this task

The Outcalling feature allows a subscriber to tell the messaging software to place a call to a specified number when the subscriber receives new messages. Use the Outcalling Options page to administer the outcalling options used by the Messaging feature.

Security

Use of the outcalling feature greatly increases the risk of toll fraud. You must specify a maximum number of outcalling digits that is as small as possible. You also need to take precautions by placing additional restrictions on the messaging outcalling ports, other messaging ports, trunk access codes, and so on. See Security for more information.

Note

You must use the sa login to change data on this screen. Voice messaging administrators who use the vm login can only view the data on this screen.
