In Cisco Unity Connections 1.x, when a call comes to the Opening Greeting and the caller presses the required option in order to reach a subscriber, the call goes to the voice mail of the subscriber and does not ring the extension

[TCC_2]

Core Issue

If a caller enters an extension in the auto attendant or finds a name in the directory handler, the caller is sent directly to the greeting for that user, and the extension does not ring. Personal Transfer Rules do not take effect when the Opening Greeting is called and the extension of a subscriber is entered.

Resolution

This issue is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCse44536.

1. Run the Call Transfer Rule Tester.
   
   
2. Verify that Rule is active.
   
   
3. Verify that the Ask me if I want to take the call option is unchecked.
