[asterisk-users] no need to dial areacode

[Danny Nicholas]

According to the documentation, this would also work:

exten _X.,1,Noop(Local number)

you would probably want to do it with 5 X's since most * use 3 or 4 digit
extensions.

Are your local numbers a fixed length? If so, this might work:

; Local numbers - 8 digits long:

exten _XXXXXXXX,1,Noop(Local number)
exten _XXXXXXXX,n,Dial(${out}/08${EXTEN})

etc.

If you have other numbers of varying length, then this might not work...

This generally works OK in the UK for local area dialling. My local numbers
are 5 or 6 digits long, so ...

exten => _XXXXXX,1,Macro(dialOut,01364${EXTEN})
exten =>  _XXXXX,1,Macro(dialOut,01364${EXTEN})

Not perfect, but it works OK.

I do try to persuade my customers to always dial the full number though, 10
or 11 digits starting with 0, because that's what they need to do on a
mobile...
