[Asterisk-Users] External access to voicemail

[Joe Dennick]

Use another DID for just voicemial so all users can call into it, enter
their extension and then then password to access their own voicemail.  I
just created this today for a Production system.  The extensions.conf looks
like this for anyone who call 963-4400:
 
   exten => 4400,1,Voicemailmain()
   exten => 4400,2,Hangup.
 
Upon entering voicemail, the user will be prompted to enter their mailbox
number and then their password.

Instead of using playback for your vm sounds try the Background command.
This command allows interruption by hitting a key.

in my setup i have several users with DID lines coming in from various
sip/iax providers. within our old phone system, a user could call their own
DID line, then hit the * key when they hear their voicemail greeting and be
prompted for their password. 
 
is there any way this could be replicated within asterisk? i'm having
trouble figuring it out since it steps through things sequentially, whereas
i want to scan for input during the playback. 
 
any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
regards,
 
-steve
