Actually here in Italy cell phone companies send you the caller
id ALWAYS with the international prefix (as +39) so i (and every
one i know) have the address book filled with numbers like
+393....... Having tested various GSM + WiFi + SIP phones
we had to take care of this case

actually we use to call only Italy so we have smth like:

exten => _+39.,1,Macro(dialCell)

and

[macro-dialCell]
exten => s,1,Dial(OH323/${MACRO_EXTEN:3}@${GATEWAY},,TW)

cheers
