Hi Tommy
I did the steps you described below:
In the first step you described, coverage of extension 770 (the
extension dialing for voicemail) there was no coverage group.
In the second step you described there were no group coverage at all.
Not 30 and not anything between 0 to 30.
What now?
TIA
Paolo
