You are mis-understanding the concept - the noanswer option is playing the file as you requested, but since you aren't answering the call, no channel is established to actually present the sound to you.

I ended up with ResetCDR() before hangup to reset billsec, duration and disposition but don't want to do it this way. What could be the problem? >From Voip-info.org : noanswer: Play the sound file, but don't answer the channel first (if hasn't been answered already). Not all channels support playing messages while still on hook. Is it because the channel is not supported? Regards, Zohair Raza
