asterisk users - Jul 2008 - transfers only work when voicemail enabled

Hi all,

when enabling blind and attended transfers in features.conf, these only seem 
to work when I enable voicemail for a particular user. How can this be? Can I 
have transferrring without voicemail?

Using Asterisk 1.4 by the way.


Thank you!

I think some clarification is necessary here. What do you mean by "enable 
voicemail?" Do you mean that you add a Voicemail() application call to the 
Dialplan? I don't see how that could make a difference regarding whether 
transfers are allowed.

Transferring should be allowable just by adding either the 't' or
'T' flags to
the options for Dial().

Hi Mark,

yes, I'm sorry, I should have been more clear about this: I'm referring
to the "hasvoicemail" setting in the users.conf file. When this is set
to "no", transferring does not work. When set to "yes", it
does. Both "t" and "T" are added to my Dial commands,

thank you,

Bart
