You serious? I typed all that and you were asking about RETRIEVING vm 
all along? Wow, I must be really dense today.

So: don't pass calleridnum to extension 8500. Or configure a different 
voicemail retrieval exten for roaming users and pass null to 
voicemailmain.

Or, even better,  scrape off and discard the fourth extension digit 
when parsing calleridnum and handing to voicemailmain.
