In the same context as your Voicemail() dialplan execution add:

exten => a,1,VoicemailMain() ; you can optionally pass it a vm box number in
the ()
exten => a,2,Playback(goodbye)
exten => a,3,Hangup

Now when you dial in, while your greeting is playing hit '*' and it will
prompt you for a mbox number and password (or just a password if you
pass in a mbox number)
