Hi, does anyone know if A2B, as an ITSP platform, provides support for Voicemail for SIP clients? I know that feature was not available in previous version, not sure if the latest includes it.

Thanks!

Rocco.

Hi Rocco,

If i remember very well, Areski said the voice mail support was removed because it required a lot more coding.

However there is a work around this, i remember i posted here a hack around getting voice mail to work for inbound SIP calls.

Thanks a lot manugmedia. Is that the case Areski? I think it is important to have this feature available.

Manugmedia, I will look for your hack on the forum. Do you happen to have an updated hack for version 1.6?

To be honest, the lack of voicemail as an option (especially as a separately billable option) is what is preventing me from switching a bunch of my clients from manual billing to a2billing. I may do some hacking at the weekend to see if I can whomp something up.

A simple way to enable voicemail for DID_VOIP call with 1.6 is to edit /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/lib/Class.A2Billing.php



} elseif ($dialstatus == "NOANSWER") {
$answeredtime = 0;
// $agi-> stream_file('prepaid-callfollowme', '#');
// $agi-> exec(VoiceMail,$accountcode.'|b');

ADD THIS
$did_number = "u".$agi->request['agi_extension'];
$this -> write_log("[STATUS] CHANNEL UNAVAILABLE - DIVERT TO VOICEMAIL ($did_number)");
$agi-> exec(VoiceMail,$did_number);
return 1;


This work for me.

Is A2billing announcing the DID number or Account code, so everyone can know your PIN.?

A way to not annoncing the Account code could be
$agi-> exec(VoiceMail,$dst.'|b'); or
$agi-> exec(VoiceMail,$did_number.'|b');


I d'ont know if this is safe to do but it work.
