Pager Explanation: I think VP stands here for "voice pager" and it's one of those little message apparatus, which is run by a centralised office, you ring the number and leave a message on someone's account, which the office will send to them immediately. The word "pager" is generally used in German too. |

VP Explanation: Hard to say, but in the telecommunications field, VP often stands for Virtual Private Network Services like Unified Messaging etc. There is also a UMS Service called VP (http://www.list.to/), so translating VP with "VP" might not be the worst idea. However, I don´t think "Anrufbeantworter" is good because it´s rather more. Reference: http://www.list.to Reference: http://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/acronym |

Virtual phone line Explanation: Hallo Nicole, VP ist keine gebräuchliche Abkürzung für einen Anrufbeantworterdienst, und ich würde in jedem Fall die Übersetzung beim Kunden gegenprüfen lassen. Ich habe aber folgenden Dienst im Netz gefunden, der u.U. passt. Virtual Phone Line. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Telefonnummer, die der Kunde auf Geschäftsreisen "mitnehmen" kann, sprich, wenn er sich auf einer Geschäftsreise befindet, kann man ihn über diese Nummer überall auf der Welt erreichen. Viele Grüße Claudia Reference: http://www.virtualphoneline.com/ |
