Voice Mailbox - Voice Mail Boxes
A VMB (Voice Mail Box) is a computer that acts as an answering machine for hundreds or thousands of users. The initial solution to the phone communication problem for businesses was the “message center.” A message center or “message desk” was a centralized, manual answering service inside a company manned by a few people answering everyone’s phones. Extensions that were busy or rang “no answer” would forward to the message center onto a device called a “call director”. Each user will have their own Voice Mail Box on the system. Each mail box will have a box number and a pass code.
