Re: You can plotz with POTS.

said by PX Eliezer:

Verizon does say that when a message is directed to your own Verizon VoiceMail, it's a call forward situation.

So that probably does account for some of it!!

Damm Verizon!

So we pay for their VoiceMail three ways:

1) Hefty fee for Verizon VoiceMail.

2) Separate fee for "Call Forwarding: Busy/NoAnswer", to get the calls to the VoiceMail.

3) Message units for those calls sent to VoiceMail.

That's a 3-way that's no fun.
Have you thought about putting together a small asterisk system just to be a voicemail system?? Ditch their voicemail all together. A small system on a good UPS could be kept up for hours during a power outage.

Methinks not a good solution for this. Asterisk system on a single POTS line would be nothing more than a big answering machine. When the POTS line is in use (on a call or recording a message) a concurrent inbound call attempt would get a busy signal and have no path to reach the answering machine. That's the value of network voice mail -- no worries about paths into the end user location.
