[Asterisk-Users] Re: Voicemail & "Couldn't read username" error

    I got this problem fixed by putting the following in the sip.conf file.

    dtmfmode=inband

Subject: Voicemail & "Couldn't read username" error


    Hi,

    I have Asterisk running with the VoiceMail. Using the latest CVS. I have
my extensions.conf setup so that if a SIP caller dials *99 the
VoicemailMain() as follows:

    exten => *99,1,Wait(1)
    exten => *99,2,VoicemailMain()

    A couple days ago I installed the MySQL/Voicemail support described at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+voicemail+database   Now for some
reason when I call *99 from a SIP extension I am prompted for a Mailbox
number but then nothing happens. It used to prompt for a password. I've
un-installed the MySQL/Voicemail support and it still doesn't work. From the
Asterisk console I get the following message when I hangup when I am NOT
prompted for a password.

Aug 24 12:34:36 WARNING[319509]: app_voicemail.c:3568 vm_execmain: Couldn't
read username

    Any ideas? I can see on several lists that this is a common problem but
I haven't found the answer yet.
