You'll need to configure your dialplan to do this.  What you are
asking is easy to do, but dialplan themselves can be very complex.  I
really suggest you read as much as possible in the asterisk section of
the VOIP WIKI:

You will also want to read the sample configuration file of extensions.conf

Now, to answer your question, you'll need to configure an extension.
One possible way to do this - in extensions.conf:

exten => XXXXXXXXXX,1,VoicemailMain()
   (where XXXXXXXXXX is your DID number)
