The dial by name directory is an application that allows callers to reach users in your system by keying in the first few letters of a name to directly dial the user that the caller is looking for.

Please Note: If the users in your dial by name directory are assigned a voice mailbox and have recorded their name for their voicemail greeting, then the directory will use this recording as the user's recorded name. If not, the directory will spell out the person's name to the caller. Please see the voicemail reference guide for information on how to record your users' names.
