[asterisk-users] Voicemail Alert

[Cary Fitch]

Yes, similarly, if I forward my desk phone to my cell, and then call my desk
phone from the cell, the call goes straight to the cell voice mail retrieve
system, with out even needing a password.  (I.E. Cell system thinks it is
the cell phone calling. BIG CELL PHONE SECURITY HOLE!  Anyone who can set
their caller ID can get voice mail from "any" cell phone. )

When I call my cell from my Asterisk box with caller ID set to the cell 
number, the call goes to ATT's voicemail, not my handset.

I use this "feature" to listen to VMs from my desk phone.

Thanks in advance,
