+ means 'always add the part before the + if the part behind it matches'. ie:
0031+79NXXXXXX means if the number matches 79NXXXXXX (for instance
793456789) add 0031 (ie 00317934567890, which would be int'l format for
the Netherlands)
| means remove the part before if both the parts before and behind match. ie:
0031|79NXXXXXX means if the number matches 003179NXXXXXX (for instance
0031793456789) remove 0031 (ie 7934567890, which would be the national
part of an int'l format number for the Netherlands)
* means * (look on your phone's keypad <G>)

(PS: + and | are only valid in certain contexts, such as trunks and
outbound routes. Not everywhere | is valid, + will be valid as well, and
vice versa! IIRC + only works for trunks)
