WRONG!  WRONG!  WRONG!

The "r" option to Dial provides a "fake ringback". This option tells Asterisk, no matter what sound it should be providing to the caller (busy, congestion, ringback, "the number you called is disconnected", etc), it should unconditionally provide a ringing tone to the caller.

Asterisk will provide ringing tone to the caller by default. Let me repeat that: Asterisk will provide a ringing tone to the caller by default. The "r" option is an OVERRIDE.

If you do not get a ringing tone then there is something wrong. If you mask the issue by using the "r" option you will have trouble finding the real cause of the problem.

Hi all,
when a user dials any number, asterisk automatically generates ringing which caller can hear, and after 2 - 3 rings asterisk detects that the called user
is busy, then caller hears busy tone. for example user hears---
tone--tone--tobeep beep beep ---Can i some how eliminate the false ringing
at the start so that user hears only beep beep beep if the called user is
busy. I have used the R and r options in Dial application but they dont
work.
