[asterisk-users] FX Dialing Odd

[Rob Schall]

But if this was the case, then why would the message playback (from the
provider) read back the digits from the start. I mean, I dialed
630-XXX-XXX and it reads back 312 (my local area code)-630-XXX-X

I would think if it wasn't waiting, then it would do like a 312-30X-XX-XX
