Luke Escude commented on ASTERISK-29889:
----------------------------------------

"core show settings" shows the following:

 Transmit silence during rec: Disabled


So I think Asterisk must be restarted for this to take effect. core reload may not be enough.

>      Security Level: None

> Lately, AT&T has been dropping calls to our voicemail system because their SIP proxies aren't receiving audio from Asterisk when the inbound caller is leaving a voicemail.
> We need to simulate silence (real audio, not comfort noise) on the upstream channel while the inbound caller is leaving a message so AT&T doesn't cut off the call.
> I believe transmit_silence is supposed to enable this, but it does not seem to be working.
> Do we have to restart Asterisk in order for transmit_silence to take effect? Or is there a bug here?
> Steps to Recreate:
> 1. Route an inbound DID to Voicemail()
> 2. Call into that DID with an AT&T cell phone
> 3. Leave a longer message, like 30 seconds
> 4. AT&T caller's side will cut off the call about 15-20 seconds in, with RTP Timeout cited in the BYE.
> Steps to Diagnose:
> 1. When you're on the call, run pjsip show channelstats periodically and you will notice Asterisk is not sending proper RTP packets anymore.
