Announcements

Announcements are played to callers waiting to be answered. For a hunt group, this includes both
callers ringing at an agent and still queued.  

• If no voicemail channel is available for an announcement, the announcement is not played.

• Calls can be answered during the announcement.

• If a call is rerouted to a hunt group's 

Night Service Destination

 or 

Out of Service

Destination

, the announcements settings of the new destination are applied.  

• If a call overflows, the announcements of the original group are still applied, not those of the

overflow group.

• For announcements configured for hunt groups to be used effectively, the hunt group's

Voicemail Answer Time

 must be extended or 

Voicemail On

 must be unselected.

• For announcements configured for users to be used effectively, the user's 

No Answer Time

must be extended or 

Voicemail On

 must be unselected.
