Hello, list. I've set up an outbound alerting system to play a recording when systems go down, etc. and I'm noticing that cellphones tend to answer() and then start ringing the actual handset. So far, I've verified this behavior with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Google Voice (the last produces a SERIOUS delta between bogus answer and actual answer). Has anyone figured out how to detect the actual cellphone answer rather than the bogus one sent by the cell carrier? In the short term, I just have the call play MOH for ten seconds before announcing that all hell has broken loose in the server room, but it?d be nice to have something a bit more accurate and reliable. Cheers, Mike
