Ok, I have spent all night trying to figure this out, and hopefully somebody has a similar experience. I have a very basic asterisk config. Sample configs, with the only addition being by SIP phone, and my incoming voip. Last week I got everything setup, calls were working, etc.,. I cam across a tutorial for voicemail, followed it, and it worked. When I call my phone and dont answer, it goes to voicemail, and message is stored on server. I created an extension to retrieve the messages: exten => 1000,1,Ringing exten => 1000,2,Wait(2) exten => 1000,3,VoicemailMain And that worked. Granted, everything is still defaults, so when I dial 1000, I get the "Comedian Mail" greeting, then it prompts for mailbox and password, then I get the menu. Now, here is how it gets weird. Today I go and setup a new second SIP phone, and proceed to set it up for voicemail. Inbound calls go to voicemail properly when nobody answers, but I cant retrieve the messages. When I dial extension 1000, its rings for 2 seconds, then just goes silent. No greeting, no mailbox prompts, nothing. Any ideas what could be going on? I tried tweaking the extension 1000 so it looks like: exten => 1000,3,VoicemailMain,s6000 Where 6000 is my mailbox. But still nothing, when I dial 1000, it just goes silent. Please help. This is driving me nuts. I even tried re-installing asterisk from scratch - no change. -john
You might need Voicemailmain(${EXTEN}@default)

Can you get some verbose output from your console/logs? It may be more obvious once you see what Asterisk is attempting to do when this extension is dialed. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of John Von Essen Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 21:30 To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] pulling my hair out over voicemail Ok, I have spent all night trying to figure this out, and hopefully somebody has a similar experience.

Try this: exten => 1000,1,Answer() exten => 1000,2,Wait(2) exten => 1000,3,VoiceMailMain() You do not specify the mailbox number in the call to the application. You only specify the number to VoiceMail() HTH, Shane On 1/31/08, Drew Gibson <drew at oanda.com> wrote:> John Von Essen wrote: > > Any ideas what could be going on?
