<DIV><FONT size=2>There are analog phones with support for showing an envelope
(or message) on receiving VMWI. DECT phones from Siemens and Panasonic do that
too (although they are digital and wireless but they interface with analog
lines). In fact, the Siemens phones have a function to tell how many messages
are waiting. Let us not forget that Asterisk can also transmit an email message
to advise (and deliver) voicemail.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Asterisk-Users] Voicemail
indication for analog phones</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have 20 or so users with analog cordless phones connected via a 24port
FXS box (vegastream). The vegastream supports voicemail indication via a
studder tone, which is great but I have some users asking for a more positive
(or proactive) indication of voicemail. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had a couple ideas;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.If an extension has a voicemail then ring the extension once per
hour for one ring, then hangup.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2.If an extension has a voicemail then ring the extension once per hour
and if answered, play something along the lines of "You have X voicemails,
please dial *97 to listen to your messages."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Something that I have to keep in mind is that some of these phones are in
residential areas, so either of the above actions would need to be time
limited (active from 8:00am to 9:00pm for example).</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Has anyone done something like this before, anyone have any better
ideas? Will this have to be executed by Cron (probably because the above
examples are time based)?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any input.</DIV>
