that message played back when someone is routed to voicemail for that user.<br><br></div><div>If this is indeed the problem, you didn't show the Voicemail() app call in your dialplan. Don't forget to add the 'u' option to the call for unavailable:<br>
<br></div><div>exten => 7001,n.Voicemail(7001,u) <br><br></div><div>to actually get the voicemail unavailable message to be played. Use 'b' for busy. In asterisk, you can type "core show application voicemail" to get the <br>
</div><div>documentation for that app.<br><br></div><div>As to the message you can play, voicemail has absolutely no mechanisms to allow you to apply some time schedules to your IVR prompts.<br></div><div>But, if you null out the plain/busy/unavail messages, you can use the dialplan to set up any kind of opening messages you want, and in that<br>
way, you can do almost anything imaginable. When you get done playing whatever you want, then call the Voicemail() app for that user. If you <br></div><div>use a few milliseconds of silence in all the recorded message files, then you have effectively overridden its built-in sound file playing with your<br>
