[Asterisk-Users] Billing (itemized) in the UK

[Robinson Tim-W10277]

You just need to do something like

exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/1666$CALLERIDNUM${EXTEN:1})

You can also do some useful translations like

exten => _9[2-8]XXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/1666$CALLERIDNUM0113${EXTEN:1})

This will look for 9, then a local number beginning 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 , and
dial out the extension number, followed by the 0113 area code.

You will need to make sure that 999 and 112 go direct to BT by using
another line in the extensions file. E.g.
exten => 9999,1,Dial(Zap/g1/999)
exten => 9112,1,Dial(Zap/g1/112)

And probably 

exten => 999,1,Dial(Zap/g1/999)

Just to be on the safe side!

You could also write a little macro to kick another user off their call
to allow the emergency call to get priority.

There is just so much cool stuff you can do.  But do test well!

If the protocol is correct, I could construct a dial command such as

exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/1666<ID>${EXTEN:1})

or so - I would just need a way to construct <id> - and then any caller
from an inside device would 
just prepend a '9' before the real number. I probably would also bar
simple '9' dialling to get an 
outside line... lets see.
