Hi, we have experienced som troubles with the timeout option of the Dial-App. It seems the Dial startts counting down the timeout imediatly, but there are great differences when the called phone actually starts ringing. If i call a landline phone in my own country it is nearly the same, but if i want to call a cell phone it could take up to 10 secs until the phone begins to ring. So, if i want to dial with a timeout of 30 secs until i want to do something else, a landline user has 30 seconds of time to answer the call, but the cell user has only 20 seconds, more or less. In use cases where i don't know what type of phone is to be called it becomes quite difficult to set an appropriate timeout. Is there someway to get Dial() to start the countdown, when the channel state changes to "ringing" ? Thx for any advice, Tobias Wolf
Are you having this problem with an analog line or PRI ?
