[Asterisk-Users] Re: Voicemailmain automatic extension detection?

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello Mason.  It's easier than you might think.  Here's what we do to
achieve the same effect.  Note that, depending on how many digits you store
in your voicemail configs, you may need to change the number of stripped
digits, etc.
We use 3-digit dialing for voicemail, and the mailbox number matches the
last 3 digits of the user's telephone number.

exten => 299,1,Wait,1 ; Just to see if it's working...
exten => 299,2,Answer ; Answer the call
exten => 299,3,SubString(MBOX=${CALLERIDNUM}|-3|3)
exten => 299,4,Voicemailmain(${MBOX})
exten => 299,5,Hangup
