You need to look at the dialplan on the SIPura device.  The docs for 
the SPA-841 are not very complete when it comes to dialplans, but 
SIPura uses the same dialplan syntax across all their products.

Here is the (very simple) dialplan on one of my SIPura phones:

(9,1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|9,[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxx)

Notice the ,  That tells the SIPura to continue the dialtone after it 
gets a leading 9.  As you can see, there are no overlapping patterns, 
so as soon as what you dial matches a patterns the SIPura will dial.
