asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Voicemail mailbox number passed in connection?

Does anyone know how to configure a SIP phone to pass the mailbox number
to the voicemail service when dialing?  I would like to press the
message waiting lamp and be prompted for my password instead of "mailbox
number".  Can this be passed in the set-up call or based on caller-id?
 
Thanks

I do it by calling my own extension.  If it's me calling me, it passes 
me direct to VoicemailMain.  If it's someone else calling me, it rings 
my phone as normal:

exten => 202,1,GotoIf($["${CALLERIDNUM}" = "202"] ? 5 :
2)
exten => 202,2,Dial(SIP/jay,10,tT)
exten => 202,3,VoiceMail(202@voicemail|u)
exten => 202,4,HangUp()
exten => 202,5,VoicemailMain(202@voicemail)

based on callerID with something like this :

exten => *97,1,Answer
exten => *97,n,Wait(1)
exten => *97,n,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM}@default)
exten => *97,n,Hangup()

then just configure your phone to point to *97 (or whatever you choose
as this extension)

Caller ID is a simple way to do it.

Make the mailbox number the same as your phone number, then select the mailbox 
based on Caller ID.

It's in some ways more secure, too - it means only you (or at least, only
your
phone) can log in to your mailbox, instead of someone else trying from their 
phone by knowing your mailbox number and guessing your password.
