[Asterisk-Users] Re: dialing # on a crisco (was: Divert to arbitrary number)

[Mitchel Constantin]

I do it like this: 
exten => _*XXX, 4, VoicemailMain2(${EXTEN:1})

That way the user just dials * first then their extension number. The
only thing they are asked for is their password. This makes it easier
on the user so that they don't have to dial i.e. extension 800 then
dial in their mailbox number followed by their password....one less
step.

On the cisco phone you need to set in the tftp configuration the
messages_uri setting to the number you want dialed..i.e. *123 for
extension 123.
messages_uri: "*123"
