Callback

Description

Callback lets you request that the system notify you when a busy extension or a busy external line becomes idle, or when an unanswered station goes off-hook and on-hook. Note that Callbacks on external lines apply when all external lines are in use, not when the called party is busy.

Conditions and Feature Interactions

• Callbacks cannot be completed unless both parties are idle.

• If Callback is set against a called party that has the Do Not Disturb, Make Busy or Attendant Busy-out (Console) feature activated, then the Callback will not be completed until the called party de-activates the feature, and goes off hook and then on hook.

• Callback is cancelled if:

• you do not respond to the Callback notification

• you complete a call with the destination (not a Conference)

• the programmed period expires.

• Duplicate Callback requests are ignored (the original callback request is canceled).

• If you answer a Callback, but the called party does not answer or is busy, the Callback is preserved (unless the Callback was to a trunk).

• When a Callback matures on a trunk, the trunk is reserved for the station that set the Callback.

• A callback will always be set on the device dialed even when that device is call forwarded. Furthermore, when party A sets a callback on party B, then sets call forwarding to party C, party A will ring when the callback matures.

• Callback always appears on the Prime line of a MiVoice IP Phone, regardless of the line from which it originated.

• Callback is not available on a resilient device that has failed over to its secondary controller.

• Callbacks on hunt groups only work when all lines or stations in the group are busy.

• Callbacks can be disabled by setting the Callbacks - Allowed COS option to No. If Callback is disabled:

• the Callback or Call Me Back softkey is not presented on the calling phone.

• the Callback FAC and the Callback Feature Key are disabled.

• A Callback notification cannot be successful on a console that is unavailable. If the console that set a callback is unavailable at the time when the callback is initiated, the callback is routed to an active local console t if one is available. If no such console is available, then the callback is queued until the console that set the callback becomes available again.
