VoIP - Pre-announcement
A number can be set to always to go voicemail where the caller hears a message before any phones are rung.
In the VoIP settings, if there is a fail number set and no also ring then the fail number is used immediately after the announcement. You will need another AA VoIP number for this to work.

Access is via the Control Pages as follows:
