[asterisk-users] Transfer caller direct to voicemail

[Leonardo Kamache (Gmail)]

Hello Drew;

Assuming your extensions is 105 let's see the dialplan:

exten => 105,1,Dial(SIP/105,30,Tt)
exten => 105,n,Hangup

exten => *XXX,1,Answer
exten => *XXX,n,VoiceMail(${EXTEN:1}@context)
exten => *XXX,n,Hangup

I think this should work for what you want.


Regards;
