Another option is what I've had happen recently. I have my main number dial all the phones in my house, including an old Cisco 7905 that on busy or no answer would send back a 302 redirect to extension 8000 - VoiceMail. To make matters worse inbound callers would be dumped into VoiceMail as though they'd entered it from internally, rather than external. While I tried various different ways on the Cisco to stop that behaviour, I found the only solution was to tell the Dial() command to ignore the 302 by adding the i flag. Problem solved.
