Updating of Phone Voicemail Number

Description

The voicemail number can be changed in FreePBX using "My Voicemail" in the feature code page. Many phones have a dedicated voicemail button. A significant proportion of these determine the number to dial when the button is pressed by looking at the message-account information in the sip voicemail notify message. This is configured in asterisk using the vmexten parameter in sip.conf. There is currently no linkage between the vmexten settings and the actual voicemail number set in the feature code page.

I propose that featurecodeadmin/functions.inc.php look for the special case of feature name "myvoicemail" and add it to the sip table of the sql database using the ugly 9999999999999 technique. retrieve_sip_conf_from_mysql.pl will then implement it in the right part of sip_additional.conf

Change History

  • priority changed from minor to major.
  • confirmation changed from Unreviewed to Confirmed.

well the ugly way that the trunks are handled will go away so that is not going to work. Also - it needs to go into sip_general_additional.conf (so it gets put in the general section). Currently nothing writes to that file. Also - the retrieve_sip_conf_from_mysql.pl no longer exists.

However - it's a good idea to have the voicemail module get this included in the sip settings. In the meantime, have you tried adding this manually to sip_general_custom.conf to make sure it works properly. And which phones have you confirmed that this work properly on?

I am glad to hear that the sip.conf general settings have been pulled out into a dedicated additional file. In my current install depending on the order of the includes lines either additional or custom can have general settings but not both. I am also glad to hear that the remaining perl stuff is going as I find one language starting with a p quite enough for me to learn.

I have an implementation of this working here and can confirm that it does insert the *97 into the message-account line. SNOM phones and others make use of this information. (I have confirmed it on a phone made by ATL.)
