[Asterisk-Users] priority "a" in macro to access voicemail

[Damon Estep]

I missed the part of that page that has anything to do with the
question. The portion of the dialplan I posted is a small snipet of a
huge macro, that part that sends you to voicemailmain when * is pressed.

It works, but has a small bug as previously stated;

"The behavior is a little weird, the * key is not recognized during the
portion of the greeting where the extension number is being played back,
after it is played back, for the duration of the greeting, the * key is
recognized and works as expected."
