Forgive me if i'm wrong, but you guys seem to be over complicating things.
Taken from: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+VoiceMail
during the prompt if the caller presses:
'*' - the call jumps to extension 'a' in the current voicemail context.
Example:
Exten => a, 1, VoicemailMain(@default)
Exten => a, 2, Hangup
When using the star '*' it's important to note that the context you placed the
application voicemail in is irrelevant, it's the context for the voicemail box
that we're looking for in the dialplan for the jump to the 'a' extension.
So this is what i do...
Before passing the call to the voicemail app, i set ${MAILBOXCONTEXT} to the
correct context, and i set ${MAILBOXID} to the mailbox name.
Then, in extensions.conf, I added this:-
[voicemail]
exten => a,1,Playback(astcc-please-enter-your)
exten => a,n,VoicemailMain(${MAILBOXID}@${MAILBOXCONTEXT})
When the user presses *, they are passed to the 'a' extension above and into
VoicemailMain.
I'm sure you can turn this into AGI easily enough if needed.
