Add the following context and make sure it's available to the person who 
will be transferring people:

[direct-vm]
exten => _*9.,1,Voicemail2(u${EXTEN:2})
exten => _*9.,2,Hangup()



To transfer someone straight to VM, they simple "blind transfer" them to 
*9[voicemail extension]

Works like a charm.
