Good point. I should have thought of that. I suppose I could accomplish the same thing using my phone's speed dial feature, however.


For some reason I thought Voipo was going to have 123 as the primary VM access number and 124 as a number that would prompt you for a mailbox number... I have to say, though, I like the thought of assigning a "Voicemail Access Number" per voicemail box.
I do have 223 set up as an outbound route to dial 832-838-7000, which prompts for a mailbox number (I would have used 124 except that the outbound routing feature doesn't like input strings that begin with "1").

It's funny: recently, when I would try to dial my virtual number mailbox directly, it would ring, but then I would get dead air. I put in a ticket, and after several adjustments, support fixed it so that it would work. A few days later, I noticed that it was not working again, so I put in another ticket. I then got a response from Tim saying that the system does not support calling your own VN (to avoid looping). I think the VN feature has changed over time, because this thread -- http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?t=1036 -- indicates that calling your own VN was supported at one time.

It would be nice to have a code to get into the VN mailbox with fewer keypresses.
