<div>I have 20 or so users with analog cordless phones connected via a 24port FXS box (vegastream). The vegastream supports voicemail indication via a studder tone, which is great but I have some users asking for a more positive (or proactive) indication of voicemail.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had a couple ideas;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1.If an extension has a voicemail then ring the extension once per hour for one ring, then hangup.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2.If an extension has a voicemail then ring the extension once per hour and if answered, play something along the lines of "You have X voicemails, please dial *97 to listen to your messages."</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Something that I have to keep in mind is that some of these phones are in residential areas, so either of the above actions would need to be time limited (active from 8:00am to 9:00pm for example).</div>
<div><br>Has anyone done something like this before, anyone have any better ideas? Will this have to be executed by Cron (probably because the above examples are time based)?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any input.</div>
