Voicemail is sent with wrong time

If you receive Voicemail with wrong time you need to check two settings:

• Current server time
• Your Asterisk voicemail.conf settings. Go to /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf and find these lines:

[zonemessages]                                                                                                            
eastern=America/New_York|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central=America/Chicago|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central24=America/Chicago|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H N 'hours'
military=Zulu|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H N 'hours' 'phonetic/z_p'
european=Europe/Copenhagen|'vm-received' a d b 'digits/at' HM 

• Then comment those lines that do not correspond to your local time and change your time zone, for example if you provide your service in Europe - London or GMT+0 time zone:

[zonemessages] 
;eastern=America/New_York|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
;central=America/Chicago|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
;central24=America/Chicago|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H N 'hours'
;military=Zulu|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H N 'hours' 'phonetic/z_p'
european=Europe/London|'vm-received' a d b 'digits/at' HM  

• Restart Asterisk
