Well that was ridiculous. I don't understand why Anveo would say to use *99!!!

I vaguely remember, or imagined, that *99 is special for OBi in some way, and it does not actually get forwarded to Anveo. So if that is actually the case, other ATAs (Attached Telephone Adapters) could use *99. If this is the case, perhaps Anveo could add a note to the voicemail use description to that effect.

Edit: from the administration guide: Quote

*99, Disable Echo Canceller For One Call, set($Noec1,1)
-  Disable the Echo Canceller for one call on the current phone port

I've been using *99 with  my Obi but recently switched to *97.

I don't think anyone answered the original question. *99 will give you a busy signal because the Obi digimap doesn't know what to do with it. I asked the same question awhile back and got the answer. See http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=7345.0

Shale:
On Anveo I just tried entering *99 and got to voicemail asking for the access number. *97 does not ask for the password. So the *99 in the dial plan would mean you would not have to enter the # to avoid the long timeout.

I don't know why this works now, when I think it did not work when I tried it maybe a year ago. I had then switched to *97 instead because it worked. Additionally *97 is more convenient in that you don't need to add the access number.

Wonder how the *99 echo suppressor cancel thing works.

I like to stick with the typical convention for voice mail that cell phones use.  Almost all cellphone use speed dial 1 or a long press on 1 to access voicemail.  As a result I just programed speed dial 1 on my Obi for voice mail.
spx(*97) or spx(*99)
