[asterisk-users] Abstraction for a newbie

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

Generally, the turn off voicemail function you used tells the provider 
*what to do when they can't get ahold of your asterisk* -- this doesn't 
typically mean 'send all calls to my voicemail until I turn this feature 
off'   All calls should attempt to contact your asterisk server (or at 
least check if it's registered recently) before sending the caller to 
voicemail.  As Mike pointed out in another post, this issue is almost 
certainly either with your sip.conf or your firewall config.
