heh... I cheat.  I don't give out my cellphone number.  I give out a DID going 
to Asterisk, and then do this:

exten => 5551212,1,Dial(${ANDREWCELL},16,rt)
exten => 5551212,n,VoiceMail(5551212 at default)
exten => 5551212,n,Macro(handle-hangup)

Note that this is one of the ONLY times that it is *RIGHT* to use the 'r' Dial 
option, by the way.  I use it because if my cell is off/dead/out of area the 
caller hears ringing instead of "The cellular customer you have called is not 
available."

I have call waiting on the cell, so that feature continues to work as expected 
and, if I don't answer, it just goes to voicemail.

There was some mention of all the key sequences being programmable at one 
point for the Voicemail app... I haven't heard anything about that in a while 
though.
