There was a "kludgy" solution posted a while back that might work for you. Since Asterisk is "multi-lingual" you could do this
Exten => _X.,123,Set(CHANNEL(language)=fr) Exten => _X.,124,Voicemailmain() This assumes you aren't using fr(French). Just copy /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr and record your alternate instructions in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr/vm-login.gsm (or whatever codec you are using). Using this work-around you could have as many greetings as you can specify "languages" for.

Danny, This seems to be a solution for sending people to leave a voicemail, I need a solution for VoiceMailMain() when people call in to get their messages, change greeting etc. If I use the s option with VoiceMailMain it just skips checking the passcode according to the docs. Thanks for your help though, any similar ideas for VoiceMailMain? I am playing the sound file I need before sending them to VoiceMailMain but then Comedian Mail! plays right after of course. --Todd On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 10:59 AM, Danny Nicholas <[email protected]> wrote: I believe this is what you want. Instead of this Exten => _X.,123,Voicemail(100) Do Exten => _X.,123,playback(your-message) Exten => _X.,123,voicemail(100,s) Per the instructions, (100) plays the standard message, (100,b) plays busy (100,u) plays unavailable and (100,s) plays nothing (skip instructions).

Is it possible to define a customize the which sound file is played when I send a caller to VoiceMailMain()? By default the sound file is vm-login.<codec>. Is there a way to specify which sound file is played per context or some other way to play a different sound file in place of vm-login? I have already replaced the default file and named it the same vm-login.x but still I am only able to play one file, not a different file depending on the VM context I send the caller to. I am sure someone has figured this out so, any shortcut to keep me from frying my brain on this would be appreciated.
