Hi again! I think we're missing some options, though. The VOicemail has a default amount of seconds, however it doesn't look like you can change it at the moment. Currently, call forwarding may govern it, which is essentially not supposed to be the case as you cannot change the seconds without having call forwarding enabled. Voicemail still works fine, though, regardless, as they are two different features and voicemail does not require a number not even when signing up.
I believe the Windows side has a place to change the seconds before voicemail kicks in, however, be aware that of course if Call forwarding is enabled, voicemail will not kick in at all. if you route a Skype number, though, and it calls your Mac the voicemail will still be enabled. To me, it sounds like we're missing something we are supposed to have.
