Hey. 

How would I set up my dialplan if a user wants to call its voicemail
from an external phone?

I'm thinking of getting the user to enter its mailbox number.

Something like this:

1. User calls the dedicated voicemail number.
2. Phone prompts for mailbox number.
3. Voicemail(${mailboxnr}@context) 

 Thanks.

You want something like this:

exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,1,SIPDtmfMode(inband)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Wait(4)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Playback(please-enter-your)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,4,Background(ha/mailbox)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,5,DigitTimeout,5
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,6,ResponseTimeout,10
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,7,WaitExten(10)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,8,Goto(2)

exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,1,VERBOSE(1|${DATETIME} -- Remote Voicemail Access for
${EXTEN} from ${CALLERIDNUM})
exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,2,VoicemailMain(${EXTEN})
exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Hangup

exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,1,VERBOSE(1|${DATETIME} -- Remote Voicemail Access for
${EXTEN} from ${CALLERIDNUM})
exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,2,SetVar(EXT=1${EXTEN})
exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,3,VoicemailMain(${EXT})
exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,4,Hangup

exten=i,1,Playback(please-try-again)
exten=i,2,Goto(${NUM},2)

The DTMFMode force is something that our system wants, and the VERBOSE
messages are just for my system's readout so I can watch the output in
realtime. Also, the pattern matching will probably only work if you change
it, as my system has several thousand dids, so I use full numbers instead of
extension style numbers.

Hope this was helpful,
SKM

I just copied the *98 extension to the extension of one of our DID numbers.
So now if I dial 5686 from inside or 1-xxx-xxx-5686 from outside, I get the 
same prompts as dialing *98.

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of 
having a better past.
