hi thanks for that i have now upgraded but how do you enable auto logging in of the voice mail?

Is there not an option that has to be set for each extension that doesn't want to have to input a PIN?

In the 3CX Management site go to Settings -> Advanced and select the Custom Parameters Tab

Edit the VMPINREQUIRED option and set it to 0. After this the pin code is no longer required to be entered (note, in my case it was the top-most option mentioned).

I would have thought that this would have been a per-extension option as some users may wish to continue to use a PIN.

We hardly use the voicemail option, so a general setting would be just fine. But I can imagine that this could be set on a per extension basis. Although some companies may want to enforce using the pin from a security point of view.

I agree that the default (just as it is) should be the requirement to enter your PIN. There are some extensions, softphones, executives with locked offices, a common phone serving more than one person, etc., where the individual doesn't feel that a PIN is necessary. On those extensions only, the ones that request it,you should have the ability to turn it off
