I had that problem sometimes when I dialed the extension to get to my IVR.. I just tested the incoming thing like you described (I think) -- even used a T-mobile cell phone to call -- and my message didn't get clipped. I'm not sure what the deal is with that. I actually didn't even use Answer, just went straight to Background().. I don't know why that worked! Here's what I use for the entry point on my IVR: exten => s,1,Ringing exten => s,2,Wait(3) exten => s,3,Answer exten => s,4,DigitTimeout,5 exten => s,5,ResponseTimeout,20 exten => s,6,Background(mygreeting) I usually hear one ring, more or less, and then my greeting starts playing. I noticed that the Wait() in my sequence comes before the Answer, while it was after Answer in your sequence. I wonder how (if) that affects the outcome. > 2) Why would a call from a landline phone have no cutoff problems, even > with a "Wait,3"? I'd make a wild guess about the cell network doing audio routing/switching sort of like how SIP does reinvites.. maybe (if such a thing actually does happen) it takes long enough that we miss the first part of the greeting. > 4) If there is no ring indication prior to * answering, and I have no > "Ringing" command configured in * anywhere in my extensions.conf, where > is this ringing coming from? Not sure.. I've noticed that when I call my T-mobile phone from xten lite, through * and BV, I hear a certain ring sound. If I push Ignore on the cell phone, then I start hearing a different ring tone and then I go to voicemail. I believe the second ring is generated by T-mobile, but I don't know whether the first one I hear comes from * or BV. Sorry about just muddying the waters and not answering the question.. I don't know where that ring comes from!
