[Asterisk-Users] Variable digit length in national dial plan

[Musaluke AK]

Does the * actually send all the digits? Does it matter what the 10th or 11th 
digit is? I had a similar problem with calls going to an extension hooked to 
a GSM terminal on our PBX ( not *).
All didits were being sent by * but the PBX would ignore the last one, so you 
had to send any digit after your real number to be dialed. So I told * to add 
the last digit like so:

exten => _00XX.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN}8)
Note where the '8' is. It works whatever digit I use here.

At least that worked for me, not sure that is your problem.
