What is forwarded to voicemail?

When a call is forwarded to voicemail, it means the intended recipient is unavailable to answer the phone. Here's a breakdown of what that entails:

• Call Diversion: The call is automatically redirected, or diverted, to a voicemail system. This happens based on pre-set conditions.

• Availability Conditions: The conditions for forwarding can vary. Common ones include:

  • No Answer: The recipient doesn't answer the call after a certain number of rings. No%20Answer
  • Busy Line: The recipient is already on another call. Busy%20Line
  • Unconditional Forwarding: All calls are immediately forwarded to voicemail, regardless of the phone's status. Unconditional%20Forwarding
  • Phone is off or out of service: The phone is not reachable.

• Voicemail Recording: Once forwarded, the caller hears a greeting (either a default message or a personalized recording by the recipient) and is prompted to leave a message. Voicemail%20Recording

• Notification: The recipient is typically notified of the new voicemail message. This can be through a visual indicator on the phone, a text message, or an email. Notification

• Purpose: The primary purpose is to ensure that callers can still leave a message and the recipient doesn't miss important information, even when unavailable. Purpose
