[asterisk-users] Send cell phone #VM waiting, just like cell carrier

[OCG Technical Support]

We already do that....but:

If users turn their phone on after being out of range/server/power off, the
carrier sends a VM notification.  Also, not all phones have POP client
capabilities...

I just send an email with the voicemail message details.
Cool part about this is the attachment can be downloaded and played on
the phone via windows media player.


Cheers,

You could easily send them an SMS telling them they have X number of
new messages and X number of saved messages.
