Message Waiting notifications in SIP are done with the notify method.

This is supported by

The mailbox directive in the sip.conf needs to be set and pointing to the correct context for this to work (example: "mailbox=1234@context").

The 480i, 9133i, 9112i, 480i CT Cordless phones need RFC3842 compliant From: headers in the NOTIFY for MWI to work. In some Asterisk setups, <sip:@192.168.0.101> is sent, and this causes the message to be discarded. One reason for this can be an empty callerid= line in sip.conf. In such cases, a workaround is to put fromuser=sipphone (or any string) in sip.conf for any user with a mailbox. Use Asterisk 1.0.4 or later to avoid MWI-issues.
