OK, it's clear to me now. Your equipment handles a 1747xxxxxxx number as a NANPA number and passes it on to the callee. The callee's equipment knows that the 747 area code is not an area code from which they want any calls (as area 747 does not exist in the PSTN world), so their equipment doesn't answer the call, that's why I heard the ringing but got not answer.
