RE: [Asterisk-Users] What's in ${EXTEN} ? Why does voicemail prompt for an extension?
Using the EXTEN variable will give you the extension that was dialed. Try using CALLERIDNUM (for this problem and your other post). http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+variables From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Paul Mahler Sent: Fri 5/14/2004 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] What's in ${EXTEN} ?

Yep, and if you do exten = *55,1,Voicemailmain(s${CALLERIDNUM}) (inserted an s before ${CALLERIDNUM}), it won't even prompt you for the password. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kyle Hagan Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] What's in ${EXTEN} ?
