Callthru via voice mail

Hi there,

I think it would be a neat feature to offer callthru via voicemail.

For example, if I am away from home and only have one DID, I could call my home number. Once it rings and goes to voicemail, I could then press a specific button (e.g., * or #). From here, it would ask for my PIN and give me a dial tone.

A second alternative would be to allow us to dial extension from voicemail prompts: I already have an extension (999) that loops back as an incoming call (extension transferred to SIP/703220-999@pbxes.org). Under inbound routing, I then have this setup to be recognized for dialthru. So, this would mean when I get voicemail, I would just need some way to enter an extension and then I could dial 999 (e.g., I press * or # and am told, "please enter your password or press 0 to dial an extension").

Do you know if this is already possible or if it could be made possible.
