Allows the caller to leave a voice mail message in the specified mailbox.

VoiceMail(mailbox[@context][&mailbox[@context][&...]],options)

old syntax:

VoiceMail([s|u|b]mailbox[@context][&mailbox[@context][&...]])

Allows the caller to leave a voice mail message in the specified mailbox. The mailbox must already be configured in voicemail.conf. If more than mailbox is listed, the greeting from the first mailbox is the one that is played. If the mailbox does not exist, dialplan execution ends.

The option s (silent) suppresses the prompt. The option u plays the "unavailable" message, if it exists. The option b plays (busy) message, if it exists (file busy instead of unavail).

If option j is set, jumps to extension n+101, if it exists, on failure.

If the caller presses 0 during the prompt, the call goes to extension o (small letter "o", for operator) in the current context.

If the caller presses * during the prompt, the call goes to extension a (small letter "a", for assistant) in the current context.

Returns -1 in case of error (the mailbox could not be found or the caller hung up) otherwise returns 0. Sets the channel variable VMSTATUS to SUCCESS, USEREXIT (the caller cancelled the message) or FAILED.

; send the caller to mailbox 123, play the unavailable message:
exten => 123,1,VoiceMail(123,u)
