What the warning is telling you is that with those settings, someone could reach voicemail, say nothing (silence on the line) and after 10 seconds it will hang up on them and deliver a 10 second silent message to their voicemail box. If you set maxsilence to something like 2 seconds, then it would hang up after 2 seconds and no message would be delivered. </span><br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The only risk you run by ignoring the warning is that some users *WILL* get voicemails delivered that have no real audio, but simply be silent.
