Message Delivery
Message Delivery is an optional feature that permits subscribers to send
recorded messages to any touch-tone telephone, anywhere in the world
(including someone’s home), as long as that telephone number is in the range of
allowable numbers defined by the system administrator. This feature is an
extension of the AMIS Analog Networking feature and is automatically available
when the AMIS feature is activated.
After a subscriber addresses a Message Delivery message, the local system
places the message in the outcalling queue for delivery during the interval(s)
defined by the system administrator. The system makes a total of six attempts to
deliver the message. If the recipient doesn’t answer by the sixth attempt, the
system sends the sender a new voice mail message informing him or her that the
message was undeliverable. The message is saved in the subscriber’s outgoing
mailbox so it may be redelivered.
When the system makes a Message Delivery call to the designated number and
the phone is answered, a recording states that a message is waiting and that the
intended recipient should press to hear it. When the listener presses , the
local system plays the message. Recipients may alternatively press to
delete the message instead of listening to it (for example, if they already know
what the message is about and do not wish to hear it). They may also press
to delete the message after listening to it, although the system automatically
deletes an accessed message after the listener hangs up.
The system administrator can individually administer any telephone numbers to
which Message Delivery traffic is heavy. This allows subscribers to use name
addressing and hear name voiceback (if the system administrator records a
name for this recipient).
The system administrator can also administer a
range
of Message Delivery
telephone numbers (for example, all local phone numbers or an entire area
code). In this case, individual recipients’ numbers do not need to be
administered on the local voice mail system. However, system administrators
should take precautions when administering a range of numbers to prevent
unauthorized long-distance calls and to minimize excessive port use (see the
"Security" section in Chapter 2, "Planning and Design").
