Hello list, is it necessary to properly answer() an incoming call ? I don't want to answer a call because the caller has to pay even if the attached SIP-phones do not answer the phone call. Because I answer() the incoming call, the caller has to pay for 60 seconds of 'ringtone'. On the other hand, sometimes an incoming call is send to a macro where the caller is given the

Hi I'm using asterisk 1.8.23.1 but I've seen this same issue in previous versions of 1.8. I have created some work arounds but the behaviour is incorrect. This is the scenario: Call comes in and goes to appropriate dialplan In the dialplan the call is forwarded to another number using a Local channel (and using /n ) e.g. Dial(Local/<my-number>@outbound-context/n,60) The number is

Hi, I am using asterisk 1.8.22 and have a problem when calling in parallel several SIP endpoints and I am not sure how to resolve it. In this case Asterisk will not bridge any audio to the caller before the 200 OK. Which means any progress announcements, including remotely generated ringback, are not passed back to the caller. This behavior is completely correct, because there is no way to know

We have a client that has sporadic problems with the *8 pickup facility. The server they are using is 1.8.5 and they are using Snom phones. Every now and then when they try to do a pickup from another phone they get a forbidden message on the phone and I can see the following in the logs.

Hi I've been noticing an odd issue with our servers (1.4.17) where a large number of one particular customer's (we operate a hosted VoIP platform) calls go through a Local channel rather than the SIP channel and whenever this happens our asterisk CDR is recording a billsec value of 0. Our outgoing calls to POTS are sent through a separate carrier and we get a daily CDR off them in

I have had a lot of complaints about the time it takes to setup a call. I have timed it and it is almost five seconds before it even starts ringing. The SIP device sends the request almost instantly but the channel is taking a long time to pickup and dial. It wouldn't be so bad but they hear nothing. I would like to provide ringback before the zaptel actually starts ringing the channel. Has

Any ideas on why callers who call into my customer's SIP trunk are not hearing a ringback tone? I had this on one other asterisk system, and wound up needing to set progressinband=yes in the SIP trunk config. I have set this on the current system & restarted asterisk, but to no avail. I am using: AsteriskNOW distro Asterisk build is 1.6 from AsteriskNOW repository:

Hello List, I'm working on an autodialer project. At the moment I use the Originate application then I "throw" it to an extension where I Dial() the other party and then both legs are bridged. The problem is that the Dial() will only run after the Originate finish its bit and I have lots of wasted time or even worse, the remote party hanging the call because instead of a human

I posted a problem earlier thinking it was due to a lack of sound card. Several members stated that you do not need a sound card to play audio to a PRI channel. I did some further testing and discovered that there is a problem with call progress tones or signaling on my PRI. I think that the reason I am not hearing audio from the MeetMe() or Playback() apps. is because the the calling side of

Hi again! With the "call pickup"-function I can now pickup a call directed to another phone in my Asterisk. Very nice. My problem, now, is that I can't see on my phone, that the other phone (in another room) rings. Is it possible to signal the incoming call on other extension? I use two phones "Thomson ST2022". Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello (lucabert at lucabert.de)

When I place a call using Iconnecthere as my sip provider, I hear no ringback when making a call. Does anyone else have this problem or offer any suggestions?

Hi I'm having a very odd phenomenon happening on our production server (1.4.17 and using realtime). Sometimes a call will disconnect 30 seconds after the SIP phone hits the mute button but it doesn't happen all the time. I've done a sip debug while watching this happen and that doesn't show anything other than a BYE message being sent out of the blue. The rtptimeout and

Hi, I've noticed that sometimes instead of getting a regular ring tone when calling out on a Zap channel, I get this obnoxious loud noise which forces me to hang up. Is this a problem in the Zaptel driver? I seem to recall that ringback tones are generated by zaptel when dialing out from a SIP phone over a Zap trunk. Thanks.

Hello! An extension registered at asterisk 13.23 initiates an external call (pjsip). After the Invite, the callee (-> ISP) sends a 100 Trying 183 Session Progress (*without* SDP) Asterisk now sends to the extension: 183 Session Progress (*with* SDP) 183 Session Progress (*with* SDP) (really two times) The callee meanwhile sends 180 Ringing (*without* SDP) which is

Tonight I made 3 calls, all which were answered at the remote end. All three calls showed up in the CDR but only one showed a disposition of "ANSWERED" the other 2 had a disposition of "NO ANSWER". Few other things to note, on the calls with no answer the bill seconds is of course 0. After further testing we noticed that only calls to this one particular number over 16 seconds

Hello All, I saw some coverage of this in the list archive but no one seems to have posted a resolution. I am using Asterisk@Home 0.06 and when I get a call from LiveVoip over IAX I dump it into my IVR. >From there the call is routed to groups based upon input. However, there is no ringback indicated to the IAX caller. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thanks, Wiley

Has anyone here implemented "Ring back when free" in Asterisk? The way it works in the UK is as follows: 1. A calls B. B is engaged (busy). 2. A hears "The number you called is busy. To use ringback, press 5" 3. A presses 5, and hears "Your ringback request has been accepted". 4. A hangs up. 5. Later, B hangs up. The system then calls A (if A is now busy, it

Hello, We have an asterisk 1.2.13 box that use a Digium TE205P T1 PRI connect to the telco, users mainly use snom 320/300 SIP phones. When dialing to an external phone number with custom ringback music, users reported that they could not hear the music but can only hear the standard ring tone generated by the system. Is there any kind of settings need to allow the ringback music pass to the
