Why not, just use the email address given before from you email
client. I have my asterisk box setup in voicemail.conf to send me
notifications to me cell phone using this method. I'm a Sprint
subscriber (I used to be Verizon, and it worked with them as well), so
I have * setup to send me an email to
my10digitmobilephonenumber at messaging.sprintpcs.com, letting me know
there is a new voicemail waiting for me, callerID of caller, and
duration and in which mailbox. I can then call back my * box and
listen to the messages, I like this better than the callback feature
b/c I can do it on my time.
