Mobility voicemail
Regardless of whether an incoming call is ringing to your Cisco IP phone or to your cell, if you don't answer, your Cisco IP phone will receive the voicemail.
If you Decline an incoming call, the voicemail will be received by whichever phone you used to decline it. So, if your cell is receiving a Mobility call...
Decline it from your cell to send the caller to your cell voicemail box.
Or let it continue ringing to send the caller to your Cisco IP phone voicemail box.
If Mobility is enabled while your cell is dead, turned off, or has no signal, then incoming calls will be sent directly to your cell voicemail box.
Cisco IP phone ring issues
When Mobility is enabled, both your cell and Cisco IP phone will ring at once. If you're near both phones, this can be annoying.
Decline the call, from either phone, to stop the ringing.
See the above Mobility voicemail section, to learn how declining calls affects voicemail.
Or Disable MobileConnect, while near both phones, then Enable again before leaving.
Learn how to do this in the Enable/disable mobility section, above.
If Mobility is enabled while your cell is dead, turned off, or has no signal, then your Cisco IP phone will not ring properly.
