Telco providers don't want to reply a provisional response as the
caller could hangup before the call is established (so less money for
the provider).

In a happy world the behavior of a voicemail system would be as follows:

- Alice call Bob who is offline.
- The proxy/b2bua/network routes the call to a voicemail server.
- The voicemail server sends early-media announcement: "Bob is
offline, if you want to leave him a message wait for the tone".
- If Alice waits for the tone then the voicemail system answers the
call and the message recording starts.
- If not, Alice doesn't pay for such unuseful call.

But this means less money for the telco.
