Topic: Retrieving Skype voicemails without the Skype client.

I have SipToSis running successfully on my Linux Centos asterisk server.  I am using asterisk with the command line.  It's not FreePBX or one of the other asterisk specific distros.

The problem I'm having is that when I'm on the Skype phone, if someone calls it is picked up by Skype, because I have the following settings Checked:
Send calls to voicemail if...
* I reject an incoming call
* I am already on a call

That's fine except...
As far as I know, the only way to see if I have voicemail, is to fire up the Skype client.

Is there a way to either route Skype to an asterisk voicemail, while on the phone (I doubt it)?
or
access the voicemail through the Skype API somehow?  It would be nice to be notified and be able to listen without dealing with the Skype Client.

It may not be possible, but if so and anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Frank

Re: Retrieving Skype voicemails without the Skype client.

To forward another caller to a PBX Voicemail would require another client running (multi channel).

For retrieval of voicemail over SIP, look at SkypeOutDialingRules.props
If you enable this line:
^59$:Voicemail
You can dial 59 after your dialing prefix (if any) to retrieve it.

That's perfect... missed that.

Ahh... this is where the stsTrunkBuilder I didn't think I needed comes in.  smile

OK, thanks for your your help again.
