This is nice brief description of the Nortel Norstar voice mail feature on the phones but this looks very lengthy and hard to learn , so there should be Business Mobile phone that could do this easily and quickly to entertain users.

Because the system is virtual, calls that come in are forwarded to any local number the business chooses such as a business line, Toll Free Numbers cell phone, or home phone.
