Try this instead:
[850]   ; [test]
type=friend                   
username=850    <- add this line
secret=blahpoly
; insecure=yes  <- no need for this
host=dynamic
; qualify=500   <- no need for this now
nat=no
mailbox=850   ; testmailbox
; callerid=Yourname <test>  <- no need for this now
conext=local
disallow=all
allow=ulaw                   
; progressinband=no  <- no need for this
dtmfmode=rfc2833   <- add this line

In the extensions.conf dialplan, include something like this:
[local]
exten => 850,1,Dial(SIP/850,15)
exten => 850,2,Voicemail(u850)
exten => 850,102,Voicemail(b850)
exten => 850,103,Hangup

; Voicemail access (prompts for exten and password)                    
exten => 888,1,Wait,1                                                      
exten => 888,2,VoicemailMain                                             
exten => 888,3,Hangup                                              
                                                                       
; Voicemail access (does not prompt for anything)
exten => 889,1,Wait,1                             
exten => 889,2,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERID(num)})                      
exten => 889,3,Hangup  

Configure one of the 601's with matching username and secret, and
get it to register with asterisk. If 'sip show peers' does not reflect
the IP address of the 601, it ain't registered. Work on correct that
first.
