Name

VoiceMailMain() — Enters the voicemail system

Synopsis

VoiceMailMain([mailbox][@context][,options)

Enters the main voicemail system for the checking of voicemail. Passing the mailbox argument will stop the voicemail system from prompting the user for the mailbox number. You should also specify a voicemail context.

The options string can contain zero or more of the following options:

s

Skip the password check.

p

This option tells Asterisk to interpret the mailbox as a number that should be prepended to the mailbox entered by the caller. This is most often used when many voicemail boxes for different companies are hosted on the same Asterisk server.

g(gain)

When recording voicemail messages, increase the volume by gain. This option should be specified in an integer number of decibels.

a(folder)

Skip the folder prompt and go directly to the specified folder. This option defaults to the INBOX.
