I'm assuming you mean asterisk when you say pbx, and I am assuming you
mean SIP phones from the 'send' or 'dial' comment.

This sounds like a problem with the dialplan in the individual phones.
So depending on what kind of phone you have, you will have to configure
it differently. 

Even if this is an asterisk thing, it would be in your dialplan. You
have configured it to match the longer sequences, but not the shorter
ones.
