I believe it clobbers the progress indication passed back by the remote end, so if for example you were calling overseas, you wouldn't hear their progress indication, you'd just hear a north american ring until the remote end picked up. It will also be playing that ring indication even if there were a 30 second delay before the remote party's phone started ringing.

Thanks Simon. Yes, that does the trick... although so does changing my dial order in the dial command to hit my cell first, then my office phone. Note that I'm sitting on a DID, so there isn't an IVR involved. Also, and I should have mentioned, the issue only appears on internal calls and inter-asterisk calls. Are there any reasons why I wouldn't want to provide ringback with the "r" option? It works, but it seems like a sledgehammer in this instance. On 7/20/07, Simon P.
