Add a shared voicemail as a line on a phone to receive visual notifications
Get visual notifications on a line key once a voicemail is received to a pseudo shared voicemail box.
A shared voicemail box cannot be assigned to a line key on a phone, eliminating the ability to visually monitor voicemails (blinking line key). However, by creating a standalone line that acts like a shared voicemail box, the line can then be assigned to a device line key. As such, all users that have this line assigned to their device will see a visual notification once a voicemail is received.
