Abstract
A method for utilizing a common voicemail box for a fixed-mobile convergence device includes automatically providing a confirmation message from a mobile client to an enterprise system in response to an enterprise call from the enterprise system being answered by a user at the mobile client. An incoming call from a calling party is connected with the mobile client in response to the confirmation message being received by the enterprise system to indicate that the enterprise call has been answered by the user at the mobile client. The incoming call is connected to a voicemail box associated with the mobile client (e.g., enterprise voicemail) in response to determining that the user did not answer the incoming call at the mobile client.
