[VoiceOps] SIP 404 Not Found vs 603 Decline

[Jared Geiger]

I would play a 183 message saying "The subscriber you have dialed has
selective call reject enabled." Then send a 487 Request Terminated. That
way you don't have to answer the call and still get the message across.

I thought Verizon had a test case for this in interop.

I'm not sure if 487s get thrown back into the redial queue usually or if
most LCRs fail over on it. I would rather send a 603 or 604 back, but I
know LCRs typically route advance on 500 and 600 level responses.
