asterisk users - Jul 2016 - Removing mailbox and password prompt for voicemail

Hello,

I am using Asterisk voicemail on a CentOS 7 server. I would like to be able
to remove the 'mailbox' prompt and 'password' prompt when a user
tries to
access their voicemail. I can remove the 'password' prompt by not
setting a
password for the user, but the 'mailbox' prompt is always heard. Please
let
me know how Asterisk can be configured to remove these prompts.

Bad, bad idea.  If you remove the password then anyone can get to the
mailbox.

Define this local extension:

exten => *98,1,Verbose(0,${CHANNEL(peername)} calling voicemail)
    same => n,VoicemailMain(${CHANNEL(peername)}@VoiceMail,s)
    same => n,Hangup

If I remove the password, how can anyone access the mailbox if the
'mailbox' prompt is not played?

It sounds like you really want it to jump straight into one voicemail box
with no auth, not just removing the prompts. Try something like this

exten => *85,1,VoicemailMain(100,s)

When you dial *85, you will get voicemail for mailbox 100, and no passcode
prompt. Jumps straight into the menu "You have FOUR new messages..."

Depends on your use case, at home I have several phones and one mailbox. So
I _want_ everyone to get to the mailbox with a minimum of effort.
