Not having followed the thread from the beginning I must admit, not sure
if the 's' flag has been suggested to you? What I have in my dial plan
is
exten => 100,n,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERID(num)})
So callers can dial 100 from their phones and get immediately into their
mailboxes without any sort of authentication.
This does have security concerns as anyone can walk up to anybody else's
phone and start dialling to listen to someone else's messages. In my
installation this is not a problem, but could be a problem elsewhere.
Apologies if the thread was about something entirely different and this
was not the problem.
regards
Adam

I have now tested the 'Unavailable' message by pressing "*" while
listening to the recorded message. I can confirm that this does NOT
directly enter to the called number's mailbox. It actually enter's
the registered device's/caller's own mailbox. Therefore, this does
not necessitate setting a password.

Let's get this straight. You call yourself from any phone in the world
and press '*' while listening to the message, you wind up in your own
mailbox and you believe that means that you don't need a password? Do
you think that the phone system somehow knows that it is you calling
and not one of the other 7.4 billion people on the planet. The
password is how it knows.

This seems to conflict with the first paragraph. Are you being asked
for the mailbox number or the password? In a properly set up system,
entering '*' during the message should put you into the callee's
mailbox and ask for a password. Calling '*98' from your own phone, if
the extension I originally showed you exists, should put you directly
into your own mailbox without asking for a password.
I think that it is well past the time to tell us what your setup is and
exactly what you are trying to accomplish. I think that you may be
making the common error of telling us your solution (remove mailbox
prompt) rather than your actual problem.

You seem to misunderstand even after I have explained. I don't need a password when calling my mailbox from my own registered phone (not calling from any other phone). I don't need to call my mailbox from other phones on the planet, so I don't need a password. Consider the voicemail you get from your mobile network on your mobile phone. You don't access it from any phone in the world; you only access it from the mobile phone which has your SIM, and you probably don't enter a password for it.

The password is only asked if a password has been set. A password is also asked if any number is entered after the 'mailbox' prompt.

To get rid of the "Mailbox?" prompt, you need to supply a mailbox as a
parameter to the VoicemailMain() command:
exten => xxxx,y,VoicemailMail(${mbox})
This takes you straight to the mailbox specified by ${mbox} . If mailboxes are
simply the same as extension numbers, then you can just use ${CALLERID(num)}
here. Otherwise, you may need a script to look them up in a database.
If you also add the "s" option, like this:
exten => xxxx,y,,VoicemailMail(${mbox},s)
Then this will also get rid of the "Password?" prompt (and therefore presume
you are already authenticated). Therefore, this should *only* be used in one
of the following situations:
(1) In a small, intimate business environment, where there is full mutual
trust between all personnel and nobody has any secrets from anybody else.
(2) Where sufficient precautions have been taken to ensure that phones are
physically secure against unwanted access.
The latter is the approach usually taken by telcos with their basic voicemail
configuration; your messages can only be retrieved from your own phone, which
normally is either behind a locked door (if it is a land line) or about your
person (if it is a mobile).
For instance, you might have something like this in your Dialplan.
"get_mailbox.agi" is an AGI script (not included) for looking up the mailbox
associated with a caller's number and populating a channel variable "mbox", or
leaving it empty in the event of an error. "ajs-vm_not_avail.wav" is a sound
file (also not included) announcing that voicemail is not available.
exten => 1571,1,AGI(get_mailbox.agi,${CALLERID(num)})
exten => 1571,n,GotoIf($[${mbox}]?mbox_ok:mbox_err)
exten => 1571,n(mbox_ok),VoicemailMain(${mbox}, s)
exten => 1571,n,Hangup()
exten => 1571,n(mbox_ng),Playback(ajs-vm_not_avail)
exten => 1571,n,Hangup()

ask for a password before serving up my messages.

From outside phones. What happens when you dial "*98" from your own

Excuse my formatting here, this is my first contribution to the list. I believe I understand what you are trying to accomplish. In my dial plans I have extension 87 setup to go to a peers voicemail box directly without need for a password. The App/Appdata I call is as shown below. Hope this helps!

That's why I suggested this extension at the start of this thread.

Perhaps you should read the whole thread before replying. Variations
of your suggestions have been made a number of times. Also, please
watch the attributions. I am not the one trying to make this work.

I wonder if the difference could be due to different Asterisk versions or the use of ODBC storage. For me, no password is asked only if I don't set a password. In other cases, it does. But i'll keep testing. |

Hi
Could please show us your dialplan as you have it now and the lines in the log on that call it would probably help a lot more
