[Asterisk-Users] Need help with two-stage ringing macro

[Daryl Jones]

I've been using the following macro to ring SIP and IAX devices for a 
few seconds, and then add on a cell phone if there is no answer on the 
SIP or IAX device.  Periodic problems began a few versions ago and now 
the problem happens every time with 1.2.9 and 1.2.9.1. 

The problem is that when a call from the PRI falls through to voicemail, 
the call is dropped before the voicemail greeting is heard.  Debug shows 
that voicemail is starting and that Asterisk is dropping the call on the 
PRI.   Calls made from SIP or IAX devices work fine.

;  It will call the destinations in ${ARG4} for ${ARG2} seconds, and
;  if that fails, the destinations in ${ARG5} for ${ARG3} seconds.  If
;  that also fails, it will send the call to voice mail for extension
;  ${ARG1}.
;
;  Note:  if you want it to ring phone1 first, then phone1 AND phone2
;  next, you have to list phone1 in both lists.  Otherwise it will
;  stop ringing on phone1.
