Transfer to VM

[Stewart]

Are there any patches out there for the Aastra 57i that would allow direct transfer to voicemail? I'm looking for:

-An in-call button that would send someone to the voicemail box of the current extension.
-A button that will allow me to transfer to the voicemail box of someone else.

I'm coming from a Shoretel system where if I'm transferring to someone else's extension, I get the option to just send it to their mailbox rather than it ringing their extension. I don't know where to post these suggestions for Aastra's scripting engineers to find.

Where would I add those? I'm thinking they would need to be scripts that are added to the in-call menu. You can't really add it to the mac.cfg or aastra.cfg files from what I can think of.

That statically assigns the button to go to VMbox 102. It's close to one of the buttons I want. For the other I'd like for the user to be able to enter the extension of the VMbox to deliver it to.

softkey12 type: speeddialxfer
softkey12 label: ->VM
softkey12 value: *$CURRENTEXTENSION
softkey12 line: 1
softkey12 states: "connected"
--Notice how I'd like for it to grab the current extension automatically. That way I can put it into the prf.

The other button would be something like:
softkey13 type: speeddialxfer
softkey13 label: X->VM
softkey13 value: *(Enter extension)
softkey13 line: 1
softkey13 states: "connected"
--Notice how I'd like for the user to be able to enter the extension manually. On a Polycom it would be something like "$P1N4$$Trefer$", but I'm not sure if Aastras have that feature.

Maybe it would need to be a php script so that in the mac.cfg would just be a button that calls a file like xfervm.php. Then that file would give 2 options; drop to the users VM or transfer to another's VM (either . But that would be a bit beyond what I can code.

I'm not alone in thinking this would be a useful feature, am I?
