You can enable Outlook Voice Access users to send voice mail messages to other UM-enabled users who are associated with the same dial plan, or prevent them from doing so.

By default, this setting is enabled. If you disable this setting, Outlook Voice Access users that call into an Outlook Voice Access number won’t be able to send voice messages to users within the same dial plan.
