That's a good idea. The second mail box could try to deliver to both cellphones since the delay is mainly for the beeper tech to be able to call back. If the cell doesn't answer, it doesn't need to call back. Since the message is copied to the second box, they only need to retrieve messages from the first box, it could then delete itself from the second box after a few days so the box doesn't fill up. That would give them a back up message incase someone deleted the main message by accident.
Always thinking Jim, that's a good sign. Now I'm also considering giving them a battery backup but they would like to be notified if the power goes out, so they could turn on manual call forwarding (telco feature) to their cell phone. I envision an alarm type voice message dialer that could get triggered by the power outage (relay) it could call their cell phone with an appropriate message (Someone would need to go to the office to turn on the telco forwarding)... or have it automatically dial the call forwarding command on the main line, then dial again with a message that the line has been forwarded... am I stretching too far? charles ----- Original Message ----- From: "JimMarks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Charles Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 12, 2001 9:23 AM Subject: KX-T: Re: Device notification delay > CP, I set 3 different mailboxes up, each with a different class of service. > I program the cos to move the message into the next mailbox if it is not > retreived within 15 mins or so.
