Well, now I'm cornfused. The original example by John used vm_announce_cid as a Boolean switch. But you've tested it as a string that points to the desired sound file? I have no means to test this nor access to sources right now and I just added John's example to the wiki. I should back it out or correct it based on your results. Please advise. John Boteler Bote Communications in rainy Fort Lauderdale, FL From: Darcy Sent: Monday, 06 February, 2012 22:02 The message, this_is_a_call_from actually has to be set in the dialplan it appears, the fs plays the file set in vm_announce_cid, a simple dial plan below reflects one way of doing this, tested and it works. Needs more time to suit the total requirements, but this makes it a little more professional by adding the message in front of the number. <extension name="vmain"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^\*98$"> <action application="answer"/> <action application="set" data="vm_announce_cid=ivr/ivr-this_is_a_call_from.wav"/> <action application="sleep" data="1000"/> <action application="voicemail" data="check default ${domain_name} ${sip_from_user}"/> </condition> </extension> Darcy … On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 3:22 PM, John <freeswitch@earthspike.net> wrote: Michael, It does work, but it's a bit 'rough': all it does it speak the number just before the date.

For those who want to know where to insert this, put the line marked with + into your conf/dialplan/default.xml file: <!-- voicemail main extension --> <extension name="vmain"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^vmain$|^4000$|^\*98$"> <action application="answer"/> <action application="sleep" data="1000"/> + <action application="set" data="vm_announce_cid=true" /> <action application="voicemail" data="check default ${domain_name}"/> </condition> </extension> On 06/02/12 22:00, Michael Collins wrote: Yuriy, …Please set vm_announce_cid to true prior to checking voicemail and see if it works.

At present I listen date of message only. I have found the macro "voicemail_say_phone_number" in conf/lang/en/vm/sounds.xml. But... when FS uses it ? Can I get it without modifying of source code of voicemail module ? Please advise. Thanks.
