Hi Robert,
I tried yours and Steven's scenarios and you're absolutely right. I get ringback when the initial call takes place, but if I then try to do a transfer to another extension after the fact I do not hear ringback on the line. So I absolutely agree that there is a problem.
What I'm not trying to understand is how Ringback works in this context. For lack of knowing better, my first thought would be that LiveVoip would be correct - that the problem is with asterisk, since I would have assumed that once LiveVoip has connected the call and asterisk has answered, all they're doing is providing audio in and out - wouldn't be Asterisk's responsibility to provide new ringtones to the calling party at this new transfer point?
However, if everyone *does* get ringback when using other providers then it makes sense that there's something happening at LiveVoip's end. *shrug*. I'm interested in what the technicals are here....
regards,
Paul

(I do not answer the line, it just rings the extensions). If I don't pick up after 20 seconds it then answers the line and sends to voicemail or to an auto-attendant, depending on the situation.
Ringback seems to be working for me, I hear ringing on the calling end... *shrug*.

Ok,I have to retract my last statement and give an update. It has been a while since I had played with the DID I have from them.
It is not an issue before the * box picks up. I set my incoming context to ring my VoIP phone for 20 seconds directly with using the IVR system and I had the ringing.
But when I restored it to no background on hold music and issued a dial command of Dial(SIP/2001,15,r) instead of Dial(SIP/2001,15,m), after the IVR plays its intro, I got no ringing on the calling end. Just dead air from LiveVoIP.
I then used this same test context by dialing in through a VP Connect account and after the initial greeting and moving to the Dial command, I got the ringing on the the calling end.
Sorry for the incorrect info the first time, it had just been quite a while since I had played with the Live account.

What exactly is it that people are finding now working with LiveVoip? Everyone says 'ringback isn't working', but nobody's really explained exactly what's happening. At least not that I've been able to find.
I have a DID with them, and it works just fine. Dialing out works fine, when people call in it works fine.
I'm interested in knowing what it is that isn't working, and if I can re-create it on my system...

Setup your * box to not answer the call right away. Allow for say 5 seconds of ringing. Then call into it on one of your DID's. From the calling end all you will get is dead air. No ringing.
At least this is the issue I am having..
