I am really a newbie on *, but I think that you can answer the line and wait some time (like 2 seconds) if the caller dont press anything like "*" (for example) he will be moved to the voicemail, but if he press, he will go to VoicemailMain to check their messages.
Somebody correct me if necessary. I couldnt test thit cos I am not with my * box set now.
