Yes, that makes sense. After you test it and verify it works would you mind adding that tidbit to the wiki?<br>-MC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 5:00 PM, andy <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:packetandy@gmail.com" target="_blank">packetandy@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

    hi All,<br>
    <br>
    thanks for the input, in the end I figured out the problem I have
    been having -<br>
    <br>
    The following works as intended:<br>
    <pre>&lt;action application=&quot;set&quot; data=&quot;voicemail_greeting_number=1&quot;/&gt;
&lt;action application=&quot;voicemail&quot; data=&quot;default ${domain_name} ${dialed_extension}&quot;/&gt;

</pre>
    <pre><big>However, in a lot of the of the example code,for instance default.xml for ext. 1000-1019, this is how voicemail is reached:</big>
</pre>
    &lt;action application=&quot;bridge&quot; data=&quot;loopback/app=voicemail:default
    ${domain_name} ${dialed_extension}&quot;/&gt;<br>
    <br>
    <big>In the second case</big>,  &lt;action application=&quot;set&quot;
    data=&quot;voicemail_greeting_number=1&quot;/&gt;  will not work, probably
    because the channel variable is not set for the correct channel. I
    am guessing that &quot;export&quot; instead of &quot;set&quot; may fix this but I did
    not have a chance to try.<br>
    <br>
    I would suggest that some clarification in the wiki between the two
    ways of calling voicemail would be very useful - when do you
    &quot;bridge&quot; and when do you just call the voicemail app?<br>
