Almost, except that if, for example, you have an analog phone, as you type
each digit in the switch case, Asterisk will ask the other host "is this a
valid number yet?" and the machine responds with "Yes, exactly" or "No,
can't be" or "Well, might be, send me some more digits" or "It is, but it
might be longer, too" in which case we do the right thing :)
