you might want to add a GoTo(${NUMBER},1)
as well as start your other extensions with

exten => 22042,1,Dial(SIP/sipvendor/11111111111,120,A(ginger3))
then

Because your're staying in the "s" extension - you need to switch to another extension by using (for example, since there are other ways...)
"goto".

Nope - just give each a real id or label (instead of "n") so you can address them via goto.
