Twillio hanging up too early on forwarded call

Question

I am forwarding calls really simply....

http://twimlets.com/forward?PhoneNumber=7702345678

My problem is that the calls are hanging up at around 6 rings and not allowing my cell service to send them to voice mail.

Anyone have a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Twilio evangelist here.

By default the forward twimlet sets the <Dial> verbs timeout to 20 seconds. If you need a longer timeout you can set that in the twimlet:

Hope that helps.
