It is not usually necessary to use the answer verb, as jambonz automatically answers the call when it begins executing the first verb in the application that requires a media connection.

For instance, if your application starts with a say verb, then jambonz will automatically answer the call when it begins executing the say verb.

Sometimes, however, on VoIP networks a caller may experience a phenomenum known as clipping, where the leading part of the initial prompt is not heard because the prompt plays immediately on answer before all downstream network elements have established the audio path. In cases like these, it can be useful to start your application with an answer verb followed by a pause of a second or so to stream silence.
