An SPA3000 ATA on the PSTN line, whose dialplan does an automatic 'hotline' style call to the IP address of an SPA941 IP phone's Extension 1, without picking up the line. So far so good, when calls come in on the landline, the IP phone rings. (NB. I use this technique, so that these calls do not have to traverse the net via my VSP).
On this phone, Ext 1, is the only one that can do CallForward, I have Ext 1 registered to voxalot. I set up a duration in Cfwd No Ans Delay and my voxalot ID in Cfwd No Ans Dest.
The problem I face now, is that the SPA941 refuses to call through to my voicemail using my voxalot ID, because it is registered using that ID. In fact it refuses to call that number if any of the other extensions is registered using that ID.
Is there some special dial-code for a registered phone to forward immediately to the account's voicemail box?
Is there some trick using voxalot dial-plans to make the SPA941 think it is calling a different number?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Not sure whether you'll end up going to VM as you wish, but this may at least fix the problem with the ATA refusing to place the call:
Try entering
123456@us.voxalot.com or *010123456@sipbroker.com as the no answer destination (123456 stading for your VoXalot ID)
A few other thoughts:
Activate DND (Do Not Disturb feature),however this may affect all lines on that ATA, or lower the time to forward to VM (within your VoXalot acct) to just a few seconds....
What I am unclear about is how this works for you when you actually want to answer the calls from PSTN, wont this send them to VoiceMail directly?
