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:
<extension name="provider-inbound">
      <condition field="destination_number" expression="^XXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXX$">
<action application="pre_answer" />
<action application="sleep" data="1000" />

        <action application="transfer" data="1056 XML default" />
      </condition>
    </extension>


In default.xml dial plan:
    <extension name="CHPhone">
      <condition field="destination_number" expression="^1056$">
