Question

Line goes straight to voicemail with Line Work Hours set to ring to multiple

I have an active line for a department. I've set current settings for Work Hours as follows:

mon-fri 9-5

Welcome Greetings:

Tell caller they're being connected: enabled

Play music while connecting: enabled

Ring Settings:

call group enabled with 4 rings: enabled

Desktop and mobile apps: enabled

If no one answers:

set to: Send to voicemail

Testing a call to the line it gets through most of the being connected audio then cuts to the "leave a voicemail" message. I've removed the greetings, no effect, goes to voicemail. Set 1 number in the ring settings, no effect, goes to voicemail.

Call forwarding and custom greetings are not enabled.

Is this adjustable to make work or would it be better to convert this line to a Call Queue?

Thank you.

Sounds like the seat is set to DND

Thank you for the reply, DND is toggled off. It still goes to voicemail.

Is it really going to VM? :-) Call the number and listen all the way through that VM greeting and see what happens.
Check the welcome greeting. I have a lot of users record a VM greeting here and then contact me about all their calls going to VM. .

Thank you for the reply. I double checked and no greeting is set for this line.

I figured it out. I had the users in the Ring Settings listed with their direct numbers. I changed it to Desktop and Mobile Apps and confirmed with the user that all of their phones rang and she picked up before anyone else. :)
