I think the only way you'll be able to do that is by capturing the RTP
packets with a wireshark or tcpdump. The message from your telco
sounds like it's early media (in the SIP World it's called Call
Progress media) and as you point out it's generated without answering
the call. Most of the time the early media is going to be a ring tone
and hence very uninsteresting to record so I suspect no one has
bothered to write an application for it.
