[VoiceOps] Letting a phone ring forever?

[Max Mühlbronner]

Hi,

of course these music, ivr, messages are early media/session progress 
which is also limited to by the SIP-timer values of the involved SIP 
Elements. It depends on the setup, but this is definately possible in 
certain configurations.

I have seen progress messages limited to 2-3 Minutes.. (german mobile 
carriers), so it would not be possible to play longer 
announcements/music to these parties... at least without connect :)
