[Freeswitch-users] Retrieving voicemail without entering user ID (extension)

[Adam Ford]

>From reading that wiki article it seems to me that the key to achieving the
functionality you are looking for would simply be a matter of adding the
desired extension to the end of the default action (where the $1 is):

 

<action application="voicemail" data="check $${voicemail_profile} $${domain}
$1"/>

 

If I am reading it correctly, this should bypass having to enter a mailbox
ID, but still require your voicemail password. Off the top of my head, you
could probably achieve this by replacing the $1 with a variable storing the
extension which called 4000.  I would have to look it up to see if there is
a system variable for that or if you would have to assign a custom one. I am
still relatively new to FreeSWITCH myself.

Look at the end of:

Advisable?  With it enabled, I can walk up to anyone's phone and retrieve
their VM w/out authentication.  It was removed on purpose due to that reason
as far as I remember.

I'm trying to modify my dialplan so that I can press a single button on my
phone, be connected to voicemail, and enter only a password to gain access. 

 

Currently I use a programmable key to dial 4000. I am prompted for my ID,
and then password.

 

I've poked around "mod voicemail" on the wiki and searched the mailing list
and web, but haven't found enough info. I have discovered that this behavior
seems to have been available in previous versions of the default dialplan.

 

Is it still possible? Is it advisable? Was this feature/behavior removed for
security reasons?

 

I apologize ahead of time if the answer is somewhere in plain sight that I
haven't looked yet. If so, I'd much appreciate being pointed in the right
direction.

 

As always, thanks for any help,

 

Joe P.
