They said the 1st carrier rejected it so the second 183 is from a second carrier.. but yes, the first carrier shouldn't be sending a 183...
Anyway -- if you please look at the pcap from the first email, the log I posted a link to later, or the past two emails -- you'll see FS originally offers both PCMU and PCMA in the initial invite.

I think we need Anthony to chime in here... he knows the RFC stuff!

That's pretty nasty of voxbeam to do...  Considering they return the
first 183 less than one second after the initial INVITE I'd say it's
very likely they're providing false ringback and/or FAS (false answer
supervision).  Meanwhile the actual ringback comes over two seconds
later with PCMA.  That's shady and if I were you I'd switch carriers
just on principle.

However, as I said before they're not doing anything that's not
allowed by the various specifications although FAS is considered by
many as fraud.

What are your codec settings like?  Perhaps FS is rejecting PCMA
because you're not allowing it?
