[Asterisk-Users] Problem: ringtones stop unexpectedly when multiple channels are dialed

[Julian J. M.]

Try adding 'r' to the dial options. According to "show application dial":

    r    - Indicate ringing to the calling party. Pass no audio to the calling
           party until the called channel has answered.


exten => 3058472194,1,Dial(SIP/1035&SIP/17864883123 at richmedium,50, r)
