If you setup voicemail to allow them to hit * and then it jumps to extension 'a' in the calling context, how do you see the original number that called? If each user is going to have their own jump-to number for 'a', then I have to do a db lookup based on the called number to see where to send it. If I test it and hit * from my voicemail, I get 'a' as the EXTEN, which doesn't help me. I need 'a' to be able to see the called number so that I can do a db lookup and send the call to the appropriate extension.
