[asterisk-users] Re: Voicemail Press '0'

[Douglas Garstang]

I was able to get pressing '0' while in voicemail to work in a simple test case, but was unable in a more complicated scenario. Here's a stripped down, sanitized version of that complex scenario...

[start] ; phones start here
include => some_contexts
include => some_more_contexts
include => route

[route]
; When findme/follome is finished, the script dials Local/${EXTEN}global_vmdeposit for vm deposit
exten => _[*0123456789].,n,AGI(ipt/originator.py)

[global_vmdeposit]
exten => _[sub].,1,Answer
exten => _[sub].,2,Wait,1
exten => _[sub].,3,Voicemail(${EXTEN}@voicemail)

I tried putting the 'o' extension in all three contexts there and it worked in none of them. I don't know if dialling Local is screwing it up, or if because we dialled Local from an AGI script, or maybe because of the includes or what...
