[Asterisk-Users] How do I retrieve voice mail in Asterisk

Hi,

I guess I am dense or something but I cannot figure out how to retrieve 
voicemail using a SIP SJPhone or and Analog phone with Astyerisk. I 
googled (voicemail +retreive :lists.digium.com) and did not get much. 
Everything works. I can ring each extension and if it doesn't answer it 
goes to voice mail, but I can't figure out how to retrieve it.

Thanks

Depends on your dial plan.
for me it's *98 then enter mail box number then password.

Very simple.

You need to set up a VoicemailMain extension in your extensions.conf

Example:

exten => 8500,1,VoicemailMain

Infact, I believe that is in the sample extensions.conf in the initial 
distribution.

Then just dial 8500 from your phone, enter the extension as defined in 
voicemail.conf and password for that extension (extension is what you put in 
when Allison asks for 'mailbox...').

That help at all?

[Asterisk-Users] How do I retrieve voice mail in Asterisk

If you are using something like AAH then it is defined in the GUI and is
most likely *98 like the previous.

If you are hand coding these then you will need something like this in
your extensions.conf included in the context you want to have access to
VM.

[voicemail-secure]
;----------------------------------------------
; VOICEMAIL ENTRY INTO SYSTEM
;----------------------------------------------
exten => 8,1,Answer
exten => 8,2,Wait(1)
exten => 8,3,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM}) 
exten => 8,4,Hangup 

[voicemail-insecure]
exten => 81,1,VoicemailMain() 
exten => 81,2,Hangup 

Note, I have created two extensions here.  Dialing 8 starts the VM app
and passes it our caller ID.  In doing so, it bypasses the prompt that
asks for the extension number and goes straight to the prompt that asks
for password.  A nice touch for contexts that include the local phones.
Your SIP phone knows who it is so the caller should not need to manually
enter an extension if the phone can do it for them simple by calling the
correct extension when they press the Voicemail button on the phone (or
at least my phones have it).

In the second extension, I have removed the callerID.  In the example
this allows me to point users form a less secure context (outside for
instance) to the VM system without passing CallerID (extension
essentually).  That way they get prompted for extensiona and password
not just password.

You can and should change the extension definition to something else
since 8 is much more useful as a 'dial out' prefix for example.

Hope that helps.  Good luck and remember the Wiki is your friend.

[Asterisk-Users] How do I retrieve voice mail in Asterisk

in extension.conf....make an entry like this:
 
exten => 18669999999,1,VoicemailMain(${EXTEN})
 
 
When any person dialed 18669999999, he will be prompted for Mailbox # and
passwd....
 
Should work.!
