[Asterisk-Users] Problem: ringtones stop unexpectedly

[Carlos A. Alfaro]

I should've mentioned that before.  I've tried doing that and it has no
effect.  I've tried both upper and lower-case 'r's.

I've also tried a workaround that I thought would work, but it doesn't:
Answering the call and then using the playtones(ringing) command before
connecting to my cellphone.

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)
