Our previous, proprietary, voice mail system did this for us. It would
dial out and repeat a prompt. it was something like "I have a message
for mailbox nnnn, press * to retrieve the message" Then it prompted for
login and would give me the voice mail menu. If you have a choice I
would recommend prompting the user. If no one logged in the call would
drop.

I don't do that now because I'm out of the office far less often. Now I
just send a notification to my black berry.
