asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Sip device not login or register calls to that device go to busy voicemail not un-available

I feel this is in error some place. If I call a sip device that is not
registered or not connected at the time. Asterisk will send that call to
voicemail to busy not unavailable.  Is there a way to correct this?

That's the way its always been. Lots of folks believe its not the
'correct'
way, but I've since forgotten what the logic was for leaving it the way it
is now.

>From my observation, if a call cannot be successfully placed then execution
goes to n+101.  So for example if a phone is busy then the call can't be
placed (channel can't be created) and you jump tp n+101 which is typically
voicemail busy.  In the case of a phone being offline then the call cannot
be placed and hence the jump to n+101 and again the busy message.

What I did in this situation is have some logic at n+101 that checks
$DIALSTATUS and then takes action as appropriate (In this case forward to
reception, but easy to send to unanswered voicemail instead - specify
unanswered voicemail at line 106)

exten => _123495XX,1,Macro(SetCID,${CALLERID})
exten => _123495XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:4},16,tr)
exten => _123495XX,3,Voicemail,u${EXTEN:4}
exten => _123495XX,4,Hangup
exten => _123495XX,103,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS} = CHANUNAVAIL]?106:104)
exten => _123495XX,104,Voicemail,b${EXTEN:4}
exten => _123495XX,105,Hangup
exten => _123495XX,106,Dial(SIP/9500,20,tr)
exten => _123495XX,107,Voicemail,u9500
exten => _123495XX,108,Hangup
exten => _123495XX,207,Voicemail,b9500
exten => _123495XX,208,Hangup
