The 'i' extension is not used when entering a context. You can only enter
a context (with Dial(), Goto(), etc), at an extension that exists. If it
doesn't exist, the context cannot be entered.

The 'i' extension is only used when already in a context, and is mainly
for catching unmatched extensions dialled within a Background or WaitExten.

See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+i+extension for further
details.

There has also been discussion about this in the mailing list over the years.

Cheers
