[Asterisk-Dev] Blind transferred user does not hear phone ring while waiting for phone to be picked up.

[Chuck Bunn]

Hi,

Thanks for responding. I did post to the user area but got no response 
and I posted here before I report this as a bug. I am using SIP and I am 
very familiar with the problems caused by codec and dtmfmode mismatch. 
(things like using 'inband' without specifying 'ulaw' or 'alaw' codec). 
I am able to hear voicemail and music on hold without a problem. I have 
tried both with and without the 'r' option. The phones work fine (I hear 
ringing when an extension is called) except when a transfer is made. The 
ringing only stops working when a blind transfer is made. If I use the 
'm' option then the transferred caller hears music on hold as they 
should. If I dont use any options or the 'r' option no ringing occurs 
for the transferred caller - this is why I think it is a bug, but I am 
trying to confirm it before reporting it as there are too many reported 
bugs that are not bugs.

Thanks
