asterisk users - Sep 2013 - Checking messages from outside the network

Hello Everyone,

I am using the following dialplan to allow users to check their
messages from PSTN world:

; Internal Routing
exten => _1XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}, 10)
exten => _1XX,n,Wait(1)
exten => _1XX,n,Answer
exten => _1XX,n,Wait(1)
exten => _1XX,n,Voicemail(${EXTEN},us)
exten => _1XX,n,Hangup

The problem is that when the user presses `*#` to check his/her
messages, it adds
an additional message, even if there were no messages to begin with. I hope I am
explaining this correctly. Can the dialplan be improved so that there
is no additional
message added when the owner is trying to check their mail box.

Kind Regards,

Nick.

Have you considered using VoiceMailMain()?
