[cisco-voip] TIP - Mobile Phone Access to Unity Voice Mail withoutprompt for Mailbox ID

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Yes - the alternate extension is great for this. There are caveats, however, in that when you dial the alternate extension, only the primary extension rings. This could be a good thing, could be a bad thing, depending on your use. For cell phones, I don't think this would be an issue however.

You can also add the cell phone to the messages portion and have MWI light for the desktop and cellphone as well.

My question is, how do you configure your voicemail target on your mobile? I'm not a mobile use - is this typically done at the provider or is it user configurable?

  I just found this tip in the new Cisco Press Book "Cisco IP Telephony:
  Planning, Design, Implementation, and Optimization"

  If you access Unity Voice Mail from your IP Phone you get prompted to
  enter your PIN.  If you access Unity mail from a mobile phone you are
  prompted for the mailbox ID and then the PIN.  
   
  This configuration will allow you to access Unity from your mobile phone
  and only get prompted for the PIN.
   
  "Mobile phone numbers can be configured in Unity as an alternate
  extension.  The system will recognize the calling line ID (CLID) from
  the mobile phone and immediately prompt the user for their PIN rather
  than their mailbox number."
