Thanks for response. I understand. I have tried a lot with mod_avmd but I just can't seem to stop calls from leaving a message into voice mail. People are getting frustrated because their mail box gets filled up due to now answering.

I do detect a beep but after that the call flow still goes on.

Any advice on how to do this? I use C# mod_managed to handle the call flow.

I don't think that you can force people to hear their phone ring X number of times.  You can make sure that the voice prompts don't start before they pick up.  Also, they will go to voice mail according to their own VM / Answering machine settings.

Hello,

I use originate to make outbound calls.

originate {origination_caller_id_name='CH calling',origination_caller_id_number=1XXXXXXXXXX,origination_uuid=XXXXXXXX,absolute_codec_string=PCMU,ignore_early_media=true,originate_timeout=45,}sofia/gateway/chsbc01/1XXXXXXXXXX 1056 XML default

I would like people to hear a couple of rings before they hear the first voice prompt. Would increasing originate_timeout value allow users longer to answer (thus delaying going to VM)? Thanks.

In public.xml dial plan:
