Yes, that would also work. For all I know, our setup also supports that. I think it's much more convenient for the users to have a separate number for accessing voicemail.
that is what many mobile operators do, but it means doubling the number of phone numbers. also, users needs to remember two numbers instead of one.
It depends. We have a well known, single number for accessing voice mail. If you are calling from your on campus extension a call to the voicemail number dumps you into your mailbox. Otherwise you get the general greeting and a chance to select a mailbox and sign-in.
Our users like this because many people interact with the mailbox while away from their desks. Of course if we implement a find-me function in the proxy then users may not need to access the voicemail system in the same fashion. Time will tell.
