Doug An aside, this can also be done using the externnotify option in the voicemail.conf file. That option allows you to specify an external script that will run when VoiceMailMain() exits. Watch out, because (as I just found out yesterday, the hard way), this script is run both when a voicemail message is left and when a user logs out of voicemail after checking their messages. From there, create a script in your favorite language (a simple shell script ought to work for your purposes) and have it create a call file to call out to the user and drop them into a context that plays an announcement (You have new voicemail) and then asks them to confirm with a keypress (Dial 2 for voicemail). At that point, set the IVR up so dialing 2 drops them into Voicemail() and you are good to go.

Doug, thanks, can you send me vm-callout.sh as I cannot find it using
google.

First you need to give them the option of turning the feature on and off. I
do it with the following:
[callback-activate]
; ***
; Callback activate/deactivate. If this function ; is enabled and there is
a call file in the form ; of ${EXTEN}.call, then Asterisk will call the ;
phone number contained within the .call file 150 ; seconds after a voicemail
has been left.
; ***
exten = 80*,1,Set(CALLBACK=${DB(vmcallback/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten = 80*,2,GotoIf($[${CALLBACK} = YES]?80*,3:80*,101) exten =
80*,3,Set(DB(vmcallback/${CALLERIDNUM})=NO)
exten = 80*,4,Playback(local/stutter)
exten = 80*,5,Playback(de-activated)
exten = 80*,6,Hangup()
exten = 80*,101,Set(DB(vmcallback/${CALLERIDNUM})=YES)
exten = 80*,102,Playback(local/stutter) exten =
80*,103,Playback(activated) exten = 80*,104,Hangup()
Then you need to do a database look up every place in your dial plan where
voice mail may be left, I do it as such:
[macro-sip.extensions]
exten = s,1,Set(CALLBACK=${DB(vmcallback/${ARG1})})
exten = s,n,SetMusicOnHold(cd)
exten = s,n,Dial(SIP/${ARG1},28,tWw)
exten = s,n,NoOP(Dial Status: ${DIALSTATUS}) exten = s,n,NoOP(Hangup
Cause: ${HANGUPCAUSE}) exten = s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1) exten =
s-NOANSWER,1,GotoIf($[${CALLBACK} =
YES]?s-NOANSWER,2:s-NOANSWER,3)
exten = s-NOANSWER,2,System(/usr/local/bin/vm-callout.sh ${ARG1}) exten =
s-NOANSWER,3,Voicemail([EMAIL PROTECTED])
If CALLBACK=YES, then run the script that copies the call file into the
outgoing directory. It uses touch to set the date on the file 150 seconds
into the future. This prevents the system calling the user while voice mail
is still being left.
The call file links into the dial plan that loops the message 4 times
waiting for acknowledgment by pressing 1 to collect voice mail.
[voice-mail-callback]
;
; Set timeouts
;
exten = s,1,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=6)
exten = s,2,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=3)
exten = s,3,Wait(1)
exten = s,4,Set(COUNT=0)
; ***
; Play, your attention is required, press 1 to ; collect voice mail ;
***
exten = s,5,Background(attention-required)
exten = s,6,Background(press-1)
exten = s,7,Background(to-collect-voicemail)
; *

exten = 1,1,Playback(pbx-transfer)
exten = 1,2,Goto(voice-mail,s,1)
;

hangup.
;
exten = t,1,Set(COUNT=$[${COUNT} + 1])
exten = t,2,NoOP(${COUNT})
exten = t,3,GotoIf($[ ${COUNT} 3 ]?103) exten =
t,4,Goto(voice-mail-callback,s,5) exten =
t,103,Playback(local/tolong-todial)
exten = t,104,Playback(goodbye)
exten = t,105,Hangup()

[asterisk-users] vmoutcall
Hello guys, I have been looking for a way to call a cell phone after someone has left a voice mail and allow the user to enter the mailbox password to listen to it and found a very old entry of vmoutcall. I tried unsuccessfully to get it to work with 1.4 and is beyond me. Has anyone gotten this to work or has a way to accomplishing this? Most analog pbx's have this feature and I am amazed Asterisk does not natively. Any thoughts on getting similar functionality into the main code too?
