Last updated: 2026-06-18
By default callers must hang up after leaving a message. Enable "Break out from voicemail" so they can press a key to reach a real person instead.

Open the mailbox
On the extension, ring group, or queue, open the Voicemail tab.
- 2
Enable breakout
Turn on Allow callers to dial 0 to exit voicemail and choose the destination — usually a colleague, the operator, or a ring group.

Update the greeting
Re-record the greeting to mention the option: "…or press 0 to speak to someone right now."
