[asterisk-users] Call to an arbitrary outbound number by asterisk

[Arpit Mehta]

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I have a TE110p digium card.

I want to dial 19173995791 when any incoming call comes in.  What is
happening is that when I dial 19173-995791. Asterisk picks up the first 5
digits assuming it is the extension and appends 212-85 (here in the
university most numbers start with this) in front . Therefore I get
connected to some random number 212-85-(19173) (where the voicemail is
running).
I cannot understand why asterisk is doing this whereas my dialplan says it
needs to connect to other number
   "exten => _.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/19173995791)"

Also any idea if this is an Asterisk problem or a telco problem. Any
help/hints/suggestions would be most welcome

Here are my files.

zapata.conf
context=incoming
switchtype=national
signalling=pri_cpe
group=1
channel=>1-23

extension.conf
[incoming]
exten => _.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/19173995791)

######### I have added this line in the dialplan is because I want it to
match the  last 5 digit and simply dial the number 19173995791 such that a
call leg is established between the calling party and the number 19173995791
