This is probably a stupid question.. How do I login to voicemail from the PSTN? I can dial *98 from within the system, but when dialing from the PSTN I have it set up to ring a dial group, then to an extensions vmail. During the extensions vmail prompts, I dial *98 and it sends me to the directory. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If this is an AAH install, go to the maint section of AMP and look at your configs. Find where you *98 is defined. This is in app-messagecenter context of extensions.conf on my AAH 0.6 build. We just need to reference this context as an include in the incoming context for yoru dialplan preferably during an IVR. Add this to your incoming context for your IVR (aa_1 if memory serves) include => app-messagecenter Now any call from the PSTN that enters the IVR should be able to hit *98 while getting options. Enter extension and PIN. Shoudl be good to go from there...

It's not a stupid question, but answering it requires some more info about your setup. If you have any kind of auto-answering DID which allows you to then tone in an extension, you can add an extension to that (any number that fits the dialplan) which connects you to voicemailmain. If you don't have such an inbound number, you can dial any number in your system that goes to voicemail (your own, for instance) and hit 'star'. You will then get a password prompt.
