Voicemail message waiting indicator (MWI)

[ferher1]

How can we get multiple phones to subscribe to a single voicemail box for mwi?

Say for instances were a group of extensions and monitoring voicemails coming into one vm box.

I know on freeswitch you simply set the extension to subscribe to mwi at extension@domain.com

Thanks for you’re advise on this.

Hi, check here and tell us what you think.

Multiple extension sharing single voicemail

Hi, I’ve just installed VitalPBX 3.2.2-1 to test at home, I have set up so far 5 extensions (601 to 605) all Xorcom XP0120P phones in different rooms in the house and a single VOIP trunk, all using PJsip. All seems to be working fine, I can make and receive internal and external calls fine, but I am completely stuck on what I thought would have been the simplest bit of the project which is how to make ALL extensions use a single common voicemail box, like an old fashioned BT answering machine…

We can make all extensions go to the same voicemail box by editing the no answer and busy settings though, that’s not going to give all extensions the message waiting indicator.

We just turn off voicemail for each extension and modify the follow me settings to send to extension X on busy and no answer. Still, we need a way to give each extension subscription to the message waiting indicator.

Thanks,

Fernando

Instead of the MWI Button there is a solution with BLF: VM_200 (voicemail extension 200 as an example). This would make a BLF-Key red if there is a new message and you can listen to it.
That is the only alternative at this point.
