Name
VoiceMail() — Leaves a voicemail message in the specified mailbox
Synopsis
VoiceMail([s|u|b]mailbox[@context][&mailbox[@context]][...])
Leaves voicemail for a given mailbox
(must be configured in voicemail.conf).
If the mailbox is preceded by s, instructions for leaving the message will
be skipped. If it is preceded by u,
the “unavailable” message
(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/vm/exten/unavail) will
be played, if it exists. If the mailbox is preceded by b, the busy message will be played (that is,
busy instead of
unavail).
If the caller presses 0
(zero) during the prompt, the call jumps to the o (lower-case letter o) extension in the
current context.
If the caller presses *
during the prompt, the call jumps to extension a in the current context. This is often used
to send the caller to a personal assistant.
If the requested mailbox does not exist, and there exists a
priority n+101 (where n is the current priority), that priority
will be taken next.
When multiple mailboxes are specified, the unavailable or busy message will be taken from the first mailbox specified.
Returns -1 on error or
mailbox not found, or if the user hangs up; otherwise, returns
0.
