Guys - sorry to change my original question.

That solution does exactly what I asked BUT! I'd like it to dial and
know which extension I'm coming from and then prompt for the password.

Just realised that the solution above allows people to wander around
listening to other peoples voicemail at the press of the button :-)

So.. how to bypass the "Enter your mailbox number" stage in voicemail
and go straight to the password prompt.

Thanks guys
