Updating phone numbers in voicemail notifications

[pvr2002]

When using the Voicemail Notifications module, I see you can update the phone number via the admin panel and ucp panel. We have a team that needs to update the voicemail notification once a week for the new on call person and occasionally may need to update it from home if the on call guy’s phone is lost/stolen/battery dies, etc…

Is there any way to update the number associated with the voicemail notification by calling in?

You could do this (or pretty much anything you can think of) in Asterisk. You would need to write your own custom dial plan to do this. Essentially a read command to take the users input, then write that variable to the data element in the database you want to override.
