Ring delay when a incoming call

Hi :laughing: , please I need support, I need that the incoming calls wait for 4 or 5 rings, because of the asterisk is answering at the first ring.

If this is posible, please tell me what can I do for that !!! :blush:

Thank you and regards :laughing:

Are you using SIP?

You could try

exten => BLAH,1,Wait(5)
exten => BLAH,n,Answer()

Thank you, but I’ll be more specific, when a call is incoming to system, not to an extension, asterisk are answering at the first ring, I need the asterisk answer at the 5 ring, because is possible that another person take the call out of asterisk and only when nobody are near of the system, this take the call at the 5 ring.

Thank you and best regards

Are you using SIP? Post up the entry point of your dial plan.

You aren’t giving me anything to help you. You haven’t posted up the incoming context of your dialplan, nor have you explained why my first suggestion doesn’t work.

You must give to receive!

To let the phone ring one time you have to wait something like 3-5 seconds before answering, so try wait 20-30 seconds to obtain 4-5 rings.
You can wait before answering the call in this ways:

exten=>s,1,Wait(20); 20 seconds
exten=>s,2,Answer()

or

exten=>s,1,Answer(20000);  20000 milliseconds=20 seconds

To wait for an incoming call, but not an internal call, wait in the incoming context and then goto a different context to resolve the extensions.

Are you talking about waiting 4-5 rings for voicemail to answer?
We still need to see your extensions.conf to really understand whats going…

Let me explain, yes, when I recieved a call from PSTN, the PBX answer at the first ring from the PSTN, then asterisk begin it to work, Ok, for this procedure I need when a call is incomming from PSTN, the PBX wait to the 5th ring to work.

Thank you very much for your help

Best regards
