What the heck kind of phone company doesn't have a phone for customer service? They're not going to go broke over my decision, but when my deposited money runs out I'm switching to another provider. If anyone has a suggestion for another pay-per-minute provider with good US, France, and/or Taiwan rates I would appreciate it.

[Asterisk-Users] Simplified Voicemail app / keeping peace with cohabitants
Hello, I have modified the VoiceMailMain application to satisfy the request of the "local users", i.e., my wife. She lost patience with too many options (we have one mailbox, so we don't need to forward messages, or reply to messages, or file them in 6 different folders...) So the modified app says "Message 1", reads the message, "Message 2", reads... "Last Message", reads the message, says "Goodbye." If you call again you get the Old message folder instead of the New message folder. The only special feature is pressing the 6 button skips to the next message. You want to go back? Hang up and call voicemail again. It's far too worthless to include in the CVS but if it would help you out, I can mail you a copy. Truth is she's been bent out of shape ever since I bought the Digium FXO/FXS card, rewired all the house phones and have been spending too much time hunched over the server figuring out that call progress doesn't work, like every other newbie on the list :) Making the dial plan appear like a 'regular' phone, and this voicemail patch have soothed things considerably. The benefit of all this technology is that she doesn't have to dial the 800 number to access the assorted calling card providers we use. I can even change them in the background and she'll never know!

This works for me, dial '89' while listening to the greeting and it hops over to voicemailmain. This would be in your incoming call context. I've not tried a exten => #,...

Jay Milk wrote: You just put into words exactly what I've been contemplating over the last few weeks. All voicemail systems have pretty much the same set of functions, just different keys to access them. Wouldn't it be great if we could configure the voicemail menus and prompts? If ever I find time again (my 2-wk old son is my newest "project"), I'll take a look at the sources and see what it would take. Then we could have "skins" to emulate our fave voicemail systems... Meridian... Ericson... etc. Making digit X do function Y would be easy enough, but there are also some fine points that could be considered-- for example, to delete a message you're listening to: On meridian VM, pressing "76" during message playback erases the message and advances to the next message. 7 = message options, 6 = delete message. On Comedian mail, pressing a key (like 7) advances to the end of the message. You must then hit the key to delete the message again. On AT&T cell phone VM, you can't skip past a message PERIOD. Burn your minutes until the message is finished, then press 7. I'm sure some corporate business school type figured out that extra revenues generated by a retarded voicemail system exceeded the revenue lost by ticking off users... But this sounds like a great idea, switching between systems is beginning to make my head hurt! ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Regarding this question, I just saw that on the Asterisk-CVS list as a change to app_voicemail.c: "If the caller presses '0' (zero) during the prompt, the call jumps to\n" "priority 'o' in the current context.\n" +"If the caller presses '*' during the prompt, the call jumps to\n" +"priority 'a' in the current context.\n" "If the requested mailbox does not exist, and there exists a priority\n" "n + 101, then that priority will be taken next.\n" So you can press '*' or '0' and get into VoiceMailMain... probably could make it '#' with a little search-and-replace. This also is another answer to checking for a valid VM box as well.
