[asterisk-users] How to handle "+" prefix

[SIP]

This is actually a big misconception... the idea that you don't need to 
match + because you'll never receive a + and it's just a metacharacter.

In the modern world of IP phones and such, more often than not, you will 
ACTUALLY be sent a + and will need to translate that yourself on your 
own side. If all you did was match a _011X, you might never GET it 
unless someone truly dialed a 011.... 

MOST of our phones send a + as a +, and we see it often.
