[Asterisk-Users] Dial Plan Format Strings

[Benjamin Wakefield]

<snip>
have to dial the entire number, like 1 + area code + number. I'd like to
eliminate this by having the user just dial 9 + 7 digit number, and have
asterisk put the 1 + area code (which is in a variable in
extensions.conf)
in front of it prior to sending the request to Voice Pulse.  Is this
possible?

Sure it's possible! Asterisk can do anything!

exten => _9XXXXXXX,1,Dial(Technology/123/1212${EXTEN:1})

See after the: "Technology/123/" there is a "1212" you can make that
your "1 + area code"

Then the: "${EXTEN:1}" dumps in the number that was dialled and chops
off the first (1) digit, which is the 9.
