I get this from a couple VOIP providers. My main number goes straight to 
a IVR so it's a little strange for some callers, but for the others 
ring_ready seems to help. If you immediately start doing stuff, like an 
IVR, it won't help unless you put in a delay(so the ringing can happen) 
before you answer. But the way I see it, once you've got the call, do 
something with it! If the inbound call just rings until someone answers, 
this should do it:

<action application="ring_ready" />
