SIP phone), then you just need<br>
<br>
Dial(...<br>
<br>
No need to Answer (as that then starts to cost the caller money if calling<br>
via the PSTN or some PSTN to VoIP bridge to get the call into your Asterik<br>
box in the first place), and no need to provide Ringing() either as that<br>
happens from the callers equipment until it's had the signal that the call<br>
has been answered - which will happen when the device you're Dial()'ing<br>
answers the call.<br>
<br>
You only want asterisk to Answer() the call if asterisk is then doing<br>
something other than bridging the call to another device - voicemail,<br>
queue, auto attendant, etc.<br>
<br>
And then, I'd suggest you make it obvious to the caller that the call has<br>
been answered as it's then (potentially) costing them money... But ethics<br>
vary here!<br>
