Very simple.

You need to set up a VoicemailMain extension in your extensions.conf

Example:

exten => 8500,1,VoicemailMain

Infact, I believe that is in the sample extensions.conf in the initial 
distribution.

Then just dial 8500 from your phone, enter the extension as defined in 
voicemail.conf and password for that extension (extension is what you put in 
when Allison asks for 'mailbox...').

That help at all?
