[asterisk-users] Dial own extension to get to voicemail.
I've gotten this Polycom 501 pretty much licked, but I need to know if there's a way in a dialplan to say if someone dials their own extension it goes straight to voicemail and asks them for their password. I thought I saw an example of this on the web but I can't seem to find it. Any advice appreciated!

RE: [asterisk-users] Dial own extension to get to voicemail.
What about comparing the caller id to the dialled number, and if they match, then call Voicemail() ? -Original Message- From: Phil Finkler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 12:35 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Dial own extension to get to voicemail.

You can do it, but it's more work than having an extension (the standard one
seems to be 86 now) that goes to:
VoicemailMain(s${CALLERID(num)[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
(But only in a context where the callerid can be trusted.)
To do what you want, you would need to have your extension processing
macro test if CALLERID(num) = ${EXTEN}, and then invoke the above
expression instead of dialing the extension.
