<p class=MsoNormal>I was looking at the ILECs’ web sites to determine how
their users access voicemail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I looked at AT&T, Verizon, Qwest, and Embarq.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>They supported one or a combination of the following for
calling from your phone:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>*98<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>#55<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Toll free number<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Your number<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A varying phone number, based on your number’s
location.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Calling from anywhere else, they supported:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hitting star when you hear your greeting when calling
yourself<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Toll free number<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What method should I use for my users checking their
voicemail? Can Asterisk voicemail be made to accept hitting * during the
greeting to enter the voicemail system? If they call their own number,
how do I get Asterisk to recognize that and take them to the voicemail system?<o:p></o:p></p>
