<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure what Verizon or Nextel called this "feature" or what advantage is it for the carrier to play it versus just letting it ring forever...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>In general I've had similar issues, customers want voicemail and single number reach delivers the call to the device that answers, be it a home answering machine, cell phone voicemail, etc. I haven't had a customer keep single number reach as one call in can burn 4 or more channels out to each device. Doesn't scale real well.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
