asterisk users - Jan 2007 - prompt for "send a message" not played in VM main, HOWTO resolve

All,

Just came across the prompt #3 from inside the top menu of VM in latest stable.
Allison does not announce the prompt, but if you know it is there, you can press
3 & successfully follow the prompts from there to send your message to other
users on the system. But, of course, obviously, I am asking: how do I resolve
the situation whereby the users are not hearing this prompt? (since most nearly
all users will never know that this is here)

(I sure hope my googling didnt miss this one)

Thanks very much.

Most appreciated.

Jason, I dunno if I understand your question properly. Did you not
want the prompt to play or did you want the prompt to play? If it's
the latter, then AFAIK, this has to do with the setting in your
voicemail.conf file which allows users to send messages to other
users, it's sendvoicemail=yes, if you turn this on, you'll hear the
prompt. If it's set to "no" then you won't hear the prompt to
allow
users to send msgs to other users. If that';s what you were asking
then your googling did miss it :P

Dear All :
Anyone can help me to get Cisco Call Manager connected to Asterisk
Voicemail Feature ?

Simply I have a SIP link between Cisco CM and Asterisk Box - as I am
using Asterisk as a Feature BOX to supply the CM with Meetme rooms and
with call  redirection ...

We are now looking to add VoiceMail Feature - knowing that we are using
Cisco Phones ...
