[Asterisk-Users] Calling voicemail from external phone.

[Sherwood McGowan]

You want something like this:

exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,1,SIPDtmfMode(inband)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Wait(4)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Playback(please-enter-your)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,4,Background(ha/mailbox)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,5,DigitTimeout,5
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,6,ResponseTimeout,10
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,7,WaitExten(10)
exten=_+1NXXNXXXXXX,8,Goto(2)

exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,1,VERBOSE(1|${DATETIME} -- Remote Voicemail Access for
${EXTEN} from ${CALLERIDNUM})
exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,2,VoicemailMain(${EXTEN})
exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Hangup

exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,1,VERBOSE(1|${DATETIME} -- Remote Voicemail Access for
${EXTEN} from ${CALLERIDNUM})
exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,2,SetVar(EXT=1${EXTEN})
exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,3,VoicemailMain(${EXT})
exten=_NXXNXXXXXX,4,Hangup

exten=i,1,Playback(please-try-again)
exten=i,2,Goto(${NUM},2)

The DTMFMode force is something that our system wants, and the VERBOSE
messages are just for my system's readout so I can watch the output in
realtime. Also, the pattern matching will probably only work if you change
it, as my system has several thousand dids, so I use full numbers instead of
extension style numbers.

Hope this was helpful,
SKM

->Hey. 
->
->How would I set up my dialplan if a user wants to call its 
->voicemail from an external phone?
->
->I'm thinking of getting the user to enter its mailbox number.
->
->Something like this:
->
->1. User calls the dedicated voicemail number.
->2. Phone prompts for mailbox number.
->3. Voicemail(${mailboxnr}@context) 
->
-> Thanks.
