Hi all, I’m kind of new to Asterisk, hope you could help me with this question.
Is there any way to know for sure that the call did indeed reach the user’s cell phone?.
I know that 180/183 doesn’t necessarily mean that the phone is Ringing
Thanks to all,
best regards
You only know based on the responses and audio you get, so there is no way to know with 100% certainty.

No.
It might reach the phone.
It might be answered, it might not.
It might not reach the phone.
The user might have a voicemail service with their service provider, they
might not.
The user might have set up a call divert, so the call does get answered, but
not on the cell phone.
There are probably other scerarios, but the basic answer to your question is
“no”.
Even removing to mobile network element from the question, there is no way for
Asterisk to know whether a call reached the endpoint device you thought it was
supposed to be calling.
All you can tell is whether the call got answered (by something / someone or
other) or not.

3 logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks “Do you all want a drink?”
The first logician says “I don’t know.”
The second logician says “I don’t know.”
The third logician says “Yes!”
Ask followed by ‘Press 1 to confirm.’
This should have a reasonable probability of success.
Unless the call is perceived as junk, as the general belief appears to be that “press 1”, really means please add me to you list of validated numbers to call, so more aware people receiving a call that asks for “press 1”, will hang up.
