businesses can plug into an external speaker system to give office-wide
announcements.
-- Analog Device Support - Businesses can support other devices without
adding new phone lines, such as enabling the fax machine, card-swipe
device and other analog devices.
-- External Hold Music - The ATA gives businesses the freedom to add
licensed music or customized messaging of their preference for callers
to listen to while on hold.
-- Group Voicemail - Businesses have the flexibility to set up group
voicemail boxes that multiple employees can access, in addition to the
individual user voicemail boxes.
