He's talking about calling their cellphone or pager, not their desk. On 
our voicemail system it's called out dial. We use it with our sales 
people. If a message is left in their voice mail box the phone system 
calls them to tell them there is a new message, authenticate themselves 
and then let them listen to the message. It lets them know there is a 
message more quickly and since most of them have free incoming minutes 
it's cheaper.

It was probably great when the system was new, but now that most people 
have crackberrys an email notification is probably just as good.
