For Incoming Calls

There are 6 different numbers for people outside of the BB2 VOIP network to call into the PBX and get to the extension number that they want: It's extension to extension only within the network:

949-203-3799 (South Orange County, CA)

305-434-7252 (Miami, Florida)

407-608-5688 (Orlando, Florida)

310-362-9366 (Santa Monica, CA)

425-880-2626 (Northern Washington)

925-281-4646 (Northern California)

Both *97 and *98 can be used to check voicemail. The difference is *97 assumes you are at your own IP phone already, so it won't ask you to enter your mailbox number (extension number), but only your password; *98 assumes you to be from any IP phone, therefore it will ask you to enter the box number (extension number) first, then your password for that mailbox, before you can go on to get your messages.

Voicemail User Guide

You should see the red light of your IP phone on, as well hear a stutter tone when you pick up your phone, whenever you have new message(s) waiting in your voicemail box. The lamp will be turned off and the stutter tone will disappear once the new message(s) are checked.
