Hi, I've asked this question in the past, but I didn't get a precise answer. Hopefully somebody will take note of my question. Before I forget, I am using Asterisk 1.2.4. I've been using the Voicemail app with success (i.e. it works) except for one single thing: the ONLY message that it ever played back to the caller is the temporary message. If I delete the temporary message (through the voicemail menu), then a generic message is played (not one that I've recorded myself). I am not sure if the unavailable message or the busy message should be played, but neither are. My .conf file is this: exten => 1,1,Dial(SIP/grandstream2000|20) ; 20 seconds of trying my GrandStream GXP2000 exten => 1,2,VoiceMail(1@test) What could be the issue?

To dial extension 3000, one would do something like this: exten => 3000,1,Dial(SIP/3000,15) exten => 3000,2,Voicemail(3000|ug(6)) exten => 3000,102,Voicemail(3000|bg(6)) exten => 3000,103,Hangup For a working extension, to check voicemail do something like this in your extensions.conf: ; Voicemail access (prompts for exten and password) exten => 3998,1,Wait,1 exten => 3998,2,VoicemailMain exten => 3998,3,Hangup ; Voicemail access (does not prompt for anything) exten => 3999,1,Wait,1 exten => 3999,2,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERID(num)}) exten => 3999,3,Hangup And be sure that voicemail.conf has an entry like this: 3000 => 3000,Your Name,your-email-address
Have you recorded an unvailable and/or busy message?

Thanks Rich and CF for responding to my query. Turns out that I wasn't using the b or u flag to define whether the unavailable message or busy message should be played. By doing that, I fixed my issue. Thanks Rich. I really do think that Asterisk should have some sort of logic that chooses which message should be played (when one has been recorded). Is there a reason that escapes me that Asterisk chooses the generic message when it isn't told which message to pick? Mike
"Mustardman", Just call up the voicemail app with the u or b option, as in: Exten => 1,1,Voicemail(number@context|u) Mike> I'm having a similar problem where I keep getting the initialconfiguration> menu even though I already gone through it and recorded all my greetings. > How do you configure the b or u flag?
