asterisk users - Jan 2006 - How to find out if a new voicemail exists

Hi,

I would like to see if during a call a new voicemail was recorded. I want to
send a SMS to mobile phones if someone recorded a message on our voicemail
system.

I can use VMCOUNT to see if there are new messages in the Inbox but this will
result in new SMS being sent even if the caller hangs up during the
Voicemailpromt, at least if there are still unread/unheard messages in the
inbox.

Is there some option or variable I missed or is this a feature request?

Kind regards,
  JP

I believe you can use the externnotify to accomplish this...

  show applications like voicemail

But you would be better off using the externnotify= option in voicemail.conf

You could always set the pager field to the "email" address of the 
person's phone.  This would send basic information about the call.

Here[1] is a small, untested script that does something similar to what you 
are asking. Maybe you could modify it to you needs.
