Voicemail
This extension allows the caller to leave a voice message (answering machine function). Voice messages can be sent by e-mail with a WAV or MP3 attachment, and played back by calling the Voicemail access button or accessing them using the administrative web interface (Status → Voicemail messages).
warning
When testing, it is necessary to upload a message of at least 3 seconds. Shorter messages are ignored, so that messages are not sent when the caller does not record the call, but hangs up after a beep.
