Did you look at voicemail.conf and the tz= settings? Simply create a 
timezone that fits your needs.

That's especially true when a non-registered SIP client is reported as 
"on the phone"... anyway you have full control over this in your dialplan 
through Voicemail(1000) = no announcement or Voicemail(b1000) or 
Voicemail(u1000).

Cheers, Philipp
