It would seem that the i extension is never called unless you have
something like Background(dial-a-number) in the context.

But I am not talking about an IVR menu. I am talking about ordinary
users connected to the PBX with their SIP phones over the LAN and they
pick up the handset and dial some number.

What I would like to do is give them a recording that says they have
dialled an invalid number if they dial something that is doesn't match
anything in the dialplan/context.

In this situation, the i extension is not called. Instead you see a
"extension not in context 'blah'" message on the console and the user
gets a fast busy signal.

any ideas how else to achieve this?
