Is there an easy way to make the voicemail system say the extension number after the directory find (via name)? People want to know the extension once they have found the person to speed up the process. Thanks! -- Zot O'Connor <zot@zotconsulting.com> White Knight Hackers, Inc.

Have the person record their name and extension when they record their name. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Zot O'Connor Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 8:52 AM To: asterisk list Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Have Voice Mail tell the extension?

This works very well. -- -- Zot O'Connor <zot@zotconsulting.com> White Knight Hackers, Inc.
