Sure about that? My Asterisk installation lists it as a valid option.

"r" leads to the ringing being indicated right from the start. So if i
call my cellphone from a SIP-connected snom, ringing is indicated to me
immediately, whereas the cellphone starts to ring not until about 3-5

Thanks for the advice. indications.conf is now existent and Asterisk is
reloaded but the problem still persists.

/etc/asterisk/indiciations.conf:
