Direct Transfer to voicemail from Queue

General Help

I need help/advice troubleshooting an issue. We still use FOP2 and I recently migrated to a newer version of FreePBX. This was not an upgrade but a side-by-side rebuild. I don’t know that this is actually an issue with FOP2, but I did also post in their forum.

When a call comes into a queue and is then transferred directly to voicemail via FOP2, it is disconnected and all I’m seeing in the log is a hangup. This does not happen when transferring non-queue calls to voicemail via FOP2. This also doesn’t happen when transferring queue calls to *EXT from the phone.

Our extensions are 48xx and do not match any feature codes.
The queue extension is 1000.

FOP2 is using the ext-local context for transferring to voicemail: extenvoicemail=*4807@ext-local

Our previous server used the from-internal context. I tested this and was still disconnected.

It seems this is only happening with outside calls. If I call the queue from another extension it works as expected. This is why I’m leaning towards it NOT being an issue with FOP2.

Since this is only happening when it is a queue call, what should I be looking for?

All I had to do was post and that was enough to realize that I wrote an override dialplan for this queue and was adding the extensions via PJSIP/EXTN instead of Local/EXTN and I believe that was my problem.

Test calls worked. I’ll give it a few days of usage to make sure that was it, but I’m feeling pretty good about it.
