[Asterisk-Users] Restrict outbound calls on Broadvoice

[Luki]

Jimmy,

> allow users to only call certain area codes?
Create a dial plan that requires the area code to match, and send all other 
non-matching calls into an extension that plays an 'unauthorized' message, 
or whatever you want.

I have this for the "world plan"

[broadvoice-toll-free]
; US calls (7 and 11 digits)
exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN:1})

; Broadvoice International free
exten => _01131.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01132.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01133.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01134.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _011353.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01139.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01141.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01143.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01144.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01145.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01146.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01147.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01149[2-9].,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01156.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01161.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01165.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _011852.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _01186.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})
exten => _011886.,1,Macro(outcall,${EXTEN})

The outcall macro sets a few more things up (namely determine the outgoing 
line to use) and Dials(${ARG1}@${OUTGOING_LINE})

> way to distinguish a land line phone number from a cell phone number?
Certain countries have designated area codes for cell phones. For Germany, 
it's 17... so I simply disallow any area code that starts with 1 in the plan 
above. That works for me.... for now. Filtering cell phones in other 
countries is harder...

Yes. See the Dial command, you can specify multiple extensions to ring:
ex: Dial(SIP/EXT1&SIP/EXT2&SIP/EXT3)
