Bradley, If I do this, then I can no longer continue with further extensions in my dialplan as Asterisk has already matched a number. I still need to check black/white lists, set pic codes and rate centers, 4 digit extensions etc within the company context. I just need to set the caller id and then move on. If I goto over to ${EXTEN} within syst_OffNet, I'd have to put ALL this logic within that extension, which would mean potentiall several hundred priorities. Asterisk really does need a way to match a number, execute some code, and then go back to looking for extensions.
