[asterisk-users] How to supervise a Voicemail box with a BLF button ? What does "State:Unavailable" exactly means ?

[John Kiniston]

I may be incorrect but I don't believe you can hint on a mailbox like that.

I've always used custom device states and dialplan logic for my shared
voicemail boxes that are not being watched directly by a endpoint natively.
