[Asterisk-Users] Telus: Overseas calling

[Markus Mayer]

Hi,

We ran into a little problem recently with our phone provider (Telus 
Canada): we are unable to dial numbers outside North America.

This is what happens: the phone number 011... is sent out over our 
T1, Telus sees the correct number on their switch. However the 
switch thinks it's a North American phone number (and thus has to 
have 10 digits) and rejects the overseas number as "excessive digits 
received".

According to a Telus technician we are sending international phone 
numbers as NANP (North American Numbering Plan). He told us we 
should instead send it "unknown number, unknown numbering plan".

The question now is: how do I tell Asterisk to send everything 
starting with 011 as "unknown numbering plan"?

Thanks for your help.

-Markus
