Allow callers to break out from voicemail

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.

  1. 1

    Open the mailbox

    On the extension, ring group, or queue, open the Voicemail tab.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

    Update the greeting

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