[asterisk-users] Removing mailbox and password prompt for voicemail

[Robert Berlin]

Excuse my formatting here, this is my first contribution to the list. I 
believe I understand what you are trying to accomplish. In my dial plans I 
have extension 87 setup to go to a peers voicemail box directly without 
need for a password. The App/Appdata I call is as shown below. Hope this 
helps!

And the extension I suggested in answer to your original question will
do that for you. Are you saying that pressing "*98" from your phone
requests a password?

You need a password to protect your mailbox from people entering '*'
during your message. The extension I gave you bypasses the password
when you call from your own phone.

Yes but if someone accesses it from another phone it damn well better
ask for a password before serving up my messages.

phone.
