487
SIP
487 Request Terminated
The request was terminated by a BYE or CANCEL. The original request was cancelled before it could be completed.
When You See This Code
When the caller hangs up before the callee answers (CANCEL sent for pending INVITE). This is normal call abandonment.
How to Fix
No fix needed — the caller intentionally terminated the request. This is normal behavior.
