i850 voicemail question

Hi,

Is it possible to program the phone to go directly
to voice mail, without delay, ringing, or "please
hold while the nextel subscriber you are trying to
reach is located"?

I have an alternate number on the phone, for those
people who I would prefer to call back at my
convenience. I don't answer it, I use this number
as a pager, and am trying to figure out how to
make it act more like one.

Thanks for any help.

The 2nd line actually shares the voicemail with
the primary number. What you suggest is precisely
what I am trying to do, I think. It gets to the
voicemail after 3-5 rings, or sometimes it doesn't
ring and the recording says, "please hold while
the Nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is
located". I called tech support to see if they
could do something from their end to make calls to
that number only go directly to voicemail, without
affecting the other number. I was told that the
number of rings before can be extended, but not
decreased or eliminated altogether. I don't
understand that, I guess that's why I don't work
for tech support.

Is there some kind of programming/setting I can
change from the phone to do this?

Finally figured out how to do that. Thanks for the
suggestion - works like a charm.
