Hi Guys,
I recently started using Asterisk as our homes voicemail. Its rather
convienient to have multiple voice mails, one for each member of the family. A
week ago I opened my cell phone bill and noticed that I could probably save $5
per cell phone if I had the cell phone forward a missed call to asterisk rather
than the voicemail service provided by Fido. With 5 cell users that's
$25/month. So what I did was in my dial plan i just checked for CallerID of
the cell phone if it matched a certain number it would go straight to a
specific voicemail bypassing the auto attendant. But when I did this (which
worked fine if the cell called the asterisk box) the CallerID forwarded by Fido
is the same as the person who called not the CallerID of the cell phone. So if
my cell number is 123-123-1234 and the number calling me is 111-111-1111 then
the cell will forward 111-111-1111 not 123-123-1234, which I thought was the
case as the cell would forward its own number.
Now I can not figure out how to make my dial plan do what it needs too. Does
anyone know how I could set it up so that each cell user will have its own
voicemail rather than going through auto attendant. Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance
