'w' is really only supported on channels where digit-by-digit dialing is
the  norm, which generally means analog trunks (or digital trunks using
CAS signaling).

In general, dial-string feature codes like this are not used on
'intelligent signaling' channels like SIP and ISDN; there are nearly
always other, proper, ways to get the desired effect.
