I believe that extension numbers are not meant to be variable
references. Asterisk
provides no mechanism to evaluate the extension number.

However, you **can** use patterns like _667426XXX to activate the
extension
for such numbers. To activate on ANY number, use "_." as a pattern.

I hope this helps.
