Answer

The Default Voicemail 0 Out Destination field is used to route callers to a specific destination if they press 0 when reaching a user or service (ring group or call queue) voicemail. A User, Call Queue, Ring Group, or Auto Attendant can be selected in the Default Voicemail 0 Out Destination field. The destination will be applied to all users and services for that site.
Note: The voicemail greeting should inform the callers that they may opt out of leaving a message by pressing 0.
