Presumably I can't just forward the call to mysip@voxalot.com, because

1) Voxalot sees my ATA is registered and won't divert to voicemail
2) My ATA can't call my number because that creates a loopback, ie calling my own mysip from my own ATA.

Putting my question in simple terms:

a) Can I (my SPA3k) send SIP calls direct to Voxalot's voicemail server?
b) What's the IP address of Voxalot's voicemail server??

Thanks!
This is exactly what I do, and it works well - but it seems not with voxalot.com.au, only voxalot.com.

Here's my setup:
  • SPA-3000
  • Line 1 Registered to Voxalot.com.
  • Line 1 Voice Mail Server: $USER@voxalot.com
  • User 1 Cfwd No Answer Dest: $USER (or just your 6 digit voxalot ID, but $USER assumes you've got Voxalot registered).
  • User 1 Cfwd No Answer Delay: 12 (seconds) - this is about 5 ring-rings.
  • PSTN Ring Thru Line 1: Yes

If I call my PSTN, the SPA-3000 rings Line 1 as a PSTN Ring Thru. After 12 seconds, Line 1 forwards the call to my voxalot account, and Voice Mail answers immediately.
