Hi all, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but is there a way to check your voicemail by calling your extension from the outside? When I call my own extension from outside and hit pound or star, it just stops my greeting and gives me the "beep". I'd like to call my extension and press a key and be prompted for my password. Otherwise the only way I can think to get around this is to create an extension that goes to voicemailmain(). Thanks in advance, Phil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20061228/7b9b2c37/attachment.htm
Phil,
Add this to your extensions (I have mine in a macro)
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(${ARG1}) ; If they press *, send to
Voicemail
so it should look like...
exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG2},13,${ARG3})
exten => s,2,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s-BUSY,1,Voicemail(b${ARG1})
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(${ARG1})
I have a few other things in there as well, but those are the lines that
should do what you want. When you press *, you are prompted for a password.

Rob,
Interestingly enough, I'm using that same sample macro, and that line is
indeed in there, yet when I hit *, I hear the tone to leave a message.
Any ideas?
Phil
