Not really, at least not in the US. Without seeing the relavent sections
of the zapata.conf and extensions.conf, its only a guess what's going on. 

Some thoughts...
- look in the /var/log/asterisk/messages file for any hints
- try some debugging steps that includes variations on:
  exten => _91.,1,Dial,Zap/1/.....
  exten => _91.,102,Playback(/tmp/a-msg)
  exten => _91.,103,Playback(/tmp/a-different-msg)
- ensure your Dial statement is sending you to the correct x100p line. They
  should look something like:
  exten => _5X.,1,Dial,Zap/1/${EXTEN:1} ; house line
  exten => _49X.,1,Dial,Zap/2/${EXTEN:1} ; business line  
  where EXTEN is the number that you entered from your cell phone.
- modify the following to playback the digits you entered from the cell phone
  ; Read back caller's number      
  exten => 3912,1,Wait(1)                           
  exten => 3912,2,SayDigits(${CALLERIDNUM})                   
  exten => 3912,3,Congestion
