Lync Phone Edition Gets Transfer to Voicemail in Oct 2013 Update

This has been a busy week for me but it looks like Microsoft has completed another top requested feature at http://lync.ideascale.com ---Transfer to Voicemail Functionality.

In this new update you can select a contact card and arrow down to the voicemail and transfer directly to voicemail.

NOTE: You might be hoping that you can call a contact’s voicemail directly as well, but currently you can only Transfer To voicemail.
