However if you are busy callers will immediately be redirected to this
extension and get your voicemail menu unless you have call waiting
enabled on the phone. Suggest you try this:

; Assuming your extension is 2034 and 8501 is your voicemail extension.
;
exten => 8501/2034,1,VoicemailMain(s2034)	
exten => 8501,1,Voicemail(b2034)
