Title When incoming calls are forwarded from phone A to phone B using the Call Forward All feature in Cisco CallManager, and if phone B does not answer, the calls are not forwarded to the voice mail of phone B
Core Issue

This is Working as Designed (WAD).

If the user calls A and A does not answer, and the call is forwarded to B and B also does not answer, the call is forwarded to the original called party voice mail (In this case, phone A).

The call is not forwarded to the voice mail of B. However, there is a way to forward the calls to the voice mail of the extension to which the call is forwarded.

Resolution

To forward the calls to the voice mail of phone B, perform these steps:

  1. Go to the Cisco CallManager web admin page, and configure the phone.

  2. Assign a voice mail profile to the Directory Number (DN) (which is a non subscriber in Cisco Unity). Check the call forward all/call forward busy/no answer to voice mail.

  3. Go to Cisco Unity web admin page, and create a new call handler. Assign an owner to this call handler (the subscriber for whom the voice mail is left).

  4. Put the extention of the non subscriber in the Extention Optional parameter.

  5. Go to the call transfer menu and select the Ring the Subscriber at this Extention option. Use the extention of the subscriber.

  6. Go to the messages menu, and select the message recipent. Choose the subscriber for whom the voice mail is left.

  7. Save these settings.

Unanswered calls should now be forwarded to the voice mail of the extension B.
