Common causes

  • The caller hung up before answer.

  • A timeout on the caller side cancelled the INVITE.

How to fix it

  1. Usually normal. If calls are cancelled too soon, raise ring timeouts on the PBX or carrier.
Seeing 487 on calls through a router or firewall? Check that SIP ALG is disabled. It causes a surprising number of SIP errors. Read why.
