[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail Retrival

[Damon Estep]

There is a different approach to this;

Put a priority 'a' in the extension dialplan that goes to
Voicemmailmain(${EXTEN})

Users then dial there own extension from any location and press the *
key once voicemail picks up.

This method seems to emulate what most people are already used to.

If you have a voicemail button on the phone the other method works as
well, you can use both.
