I never heard of the app WaitExten but you could do the following:
exten => _.,1,DigitTimeout,5
exten => _.,2,ResponseTimeout,10
exten => _.,3,SetVar(areacode=666)
exten => _.,4,Background(zz-in-who)
include => extensions
include => applications
include => speeddials
exten => i,1,PlayBack(Invalid-Ext)
exten => i,2,HangUp
exten => t,1,PlayBack(NoExtensionEntered)
exten => t,2,Hangup

Don't, I suggest you read the handbook, the wiki, and/or the archives.
