What you want is an extension 12345 in the same context as the extension 
35 that will be used when you dial 12345 while background is playing the 
message.
in the 12345 extension you do the normal 'voicemailmain' with the skip 
password feature if you want to go straight there.

Just have a good think about security though, before you leave your 
voicemail open to every one.
