The above simply doesn't work here. "i" never gets called no matter
what you do, unless you have an IVR menu in the context. This is why I
suspect that this " i" thing is only meant to be called from within
Background(some-message) etc, but not for ordinary dialling,

Can anybody confirm this? Would be nice to know what this is actually
meant to do.

this only works here only if you use the catch-all extension pattern "_."
