This worked for me:
- Visual Voicemail is supported on 8861 phone but not as a midlet.
- In order to use it on this type of phone, you need to create additional service and subscribe it to the 8861 phone instead of Visual Voicemail service used on other phones.
- Add new Visual Voicemail service
++select Device-->Device Settings-->Phone Services in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
++select Add New
++enter information in the IP Phone Services Configuration window as follows
-->Service Name: meaningful name, eg.VisualVoicemail-BE
-->Service URL: Application:Cisco/VisualVoiceMail
-->Service Category: XML Service
-->Service Type: Messages
-->Service Vendor: Cisco
-->Enable: yes
++Select Save
- Select New Parameter to add a parameter to the service
++Parameter Name: voicemail_server
++Parameter Display Name: Voicemail Server
++Default value: hostname or IP address of primary CUC server
++Parameter Description: Hostname of voicemail server
- Select Add New to add another parameter to the service
++Parameter Name: call_connect_delay
++Parameter Display Name: Call Connect Delay
++Default value: 1000
++Parameter Description: Default Call Connect Display
- Select Add New to add another parameter to the service
++Parameter Name: log_level
++Parameter Display Name: Log Level
++Default value: info
++Parameter Description: level of logging
- Save and close
- Subscribe Individual Phones to Visual Voicemail
++Select Device-->Phone
