<br>
I have free calling to between DDIs and cellphones on our group plan. I<br>
figure it'd be nice to allow staff with those cellphones to be able to<br>
forward callers to their VoiceMail to their cellphones using the *<br>
feature.<br>
<br>
I have a standard extension macro that has VoiceMail support.<br>
So far I've done this by duplicating the standard extension macro, and<br>
adding this rule (where ARG1 is the extension):<br>
<br>
exten => a,1,Goto(vmfwd,${ARG1},1)<br>
<br>
Then in the vmfwd context I have rules like this (I need to set the<br>
CALLERID(number) so our SIP provider accepts the call):<br>
<br>
; Andrew Ruthven<br>
exten => 7231,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=yyy)<br>
exten => 7231,n,Goto(pstn,xxx,1)<br>
<br>
Which is working nicely. But, I thought, can I simplify this and just<br>
have one macro?<br>
<br>
So I've tried doing the following to fold it into my standard extension<br>
macro:<br>
<br>
1) Tried using a/_7231 but that didn't match (well, it was worth a try)<br>
2) exten => a,1,Goto(vmfwd,${ARG1},1) works for calls to my extension,<br>
but if I disable the 7231 rules in vmfwd, I get:<br>

[2016-07-22 09:01:07.691] WARNING[11488][C-00000420]: pbx.c:6646<br>
__ast_pbx_run: Channel 'SIP/192.168.43.254-0000005a' sent to invalid<br>
extension but no invalid handler: context,exten,priority=vmfwd,7231,1<br>
<br>
and the call hangs up, not a very nice user experience.<br>
<br>
The second option could work, as long as the user lands back into<br>
VoiceMail if there is no valid extension. I thought about using GoSub,<br>
but how do I get the caller back into VoiceMail?<br>
<br>
I've done a bunch of searching for this, but haven't found any general<br>
solutions. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to achieve, or is there<br>
a better approach?<br>
<br>
This is Asterisk 11.13.<br>
