[Asterisk-Users] 1 extension entry for multiple purposes?

OK. Here is the caveat I've found. The phones, in sip.conf, all have a
callerid= line because if they don't when they call someone the caller id
shows up ONLY as their extension.

For instance, my extension is 3044. When I call my cell, all it says is
"Missed call from 3044".

The only way I found to fix this was to add that callerid= into the sip.conf

But since I have done that, what you have suggested below won't work.

Should I have the callerid set somewhere else?

Here you go...  No extension required....

>From extensions.conf....

;----------------------------------------------
; VOICEMAIL ENTRY INTO SYSTEM
;----------------------------------------------
exten => 8,1,Answer
exten => 8,2,Wait(1)
exten => 8,3,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 8,4,Hangup

Still want the old way of enter your number then PIN...

exten => 81,1,VoicemailMain2()
exten => 81,2,Hangup

Hey gang,
 There must be any easy solution for this but my mind is frazzled on
compiling 2.4 with RTC as module. Bleh.

Currently extension 9000 is our VoicemailMain(@company) line.  Some
employee's are complaining that the old system was better because you
didn't have to enter your mailbox number and that instead the old system
took you right to it.

I figured there was something similar so that I don't have to have 200
extra extensions.conf lines just for VoicemailMain(<exten>@company).

Basically I want something like this:  exten =>
9000,1,VoicemailMain(${DIALERS_EXTENSION}@company)
so that way all it asks for is their password.

Any ideas..?

Thanks,
Matthew
