The playback command has a "no answer" option that can be used to play announcements without completing the call (ie: without providing answer supervision). It's important that people use this option correctly; not just for bellster, but for any error announcements. The example I always like to give is what happens to that quarter that someone at a payphone uses to call your errored number. Do they get it back? Or do they lose it just because they heard an announcement.
However, the second route tried by bellster ended up with "This is 9:25 local time, calls are only permitted from ... to ...". It means that the remote asterisk accepted the call to play the message, instead of using Congestion to use another route or fail.
It's pretty neat, even works well with the PSTN. I can call from my cell phone to a congested number, hear an announcement and my cell phone thinks the call was never completed.
I'd assume the bellster network would be able to determine if the call was successfully connected or not.
