Priority 4 is curious. When I tried to run this, Asterisk "spoke" the 
number 10 to the called. I changed the 2 to a 7 and it allowed the entry 
of 7 digits, but the curious thing was if one dialed too fast, it would 
fail, but if I dialed 6 digits, paused then dialed the 7th, the call 
went where it should have.

I guess we both need to read more on "Read" ??
