One of the benefits of that method is that in your dialplan, you can say "is the caller id of the originating call the same as the extension they tried to dial" ie. I'm number 112 and I dial 112 from my phone. the dialplan realizes this, and instead of sending me to my voicemail, it sends me to VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})

the 's' in there skips the check for a password. You can omit or keep that as necessary.

This of course could be at a static extension too, rather than dialing your own extension:

exten => 777,1,VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})

This last one does work especially well with my Polycom 501s :)

You have the contact set to the extension, you need the contact set to whatever you dial to retrieve your voicemail. i.e. the one that runs voicemailmain.

Actually I think that is how it is setup now. I configured the phone through the web interface. Callback mode is set to "contact" and the Callback contact is set to the extension.
