It's perfectly normal and expected, if you understand at all how Page()
works. Page() does not set up a call between the caller and the callees;
it puts them into a conference, so it has no idea if the callee's phone
is still ringing or not. In fact, it wouldn't make sense for it to pay
attention to that at all, given that there could be many callees; should
the caller not be put into the conference until _all_ the callees have
either answered or been determined to be busy/not available/etc.?
