That would actually be kinda easy to do. Create an extension/menu that puts the person in voicemail or whatever else you want it to do. Create a script that is run from crontab that looks for new voicemail. If there is a new voicemail it creates a call file to the cell number. The call file puts them in the extension that puts them in voicemail menu or whatever else you want.

If you want it to IM you, then create a script that can send you a message on whatever IM client you are using(there should be a few examples on google). Simply have the crontab script call this for the desired affect.

I would like to have my asterisk ring my cell phone and let me know when a new

Are there good examples somewhere of doing stuff automatically on the arrival of
a new voicemail ?

I noticed a place for the pager email address in voicemail.conf, but I am
looking to be able to configure an arbitrary action on the voicemail arrival.

I could also do this by having a script do something on the arrival of the
voicemail email, but it should be more flexible to do it from within asterisk. Do I have to write my own agi application and call it from the same place
VoiceMailMain is called to do this ?

Thanks in advance,
