I think you've confused your DID with inbound callerid.

Unless you have a international DID, the exten=>_NXXNXXXXXX pattern 
should always accept any call bound for you from that context.

Even if someone calls you from an international location, voicepulse 
*should* always present a unique DID to you the same way every time.

Now, if you want to do processing of an inbound call diferently based on 
it's origination number(it's callerid), you handle that afterwards.

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX/NXXNXXXXXX,1,Goto(fromUS,1)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX/XX.,1,(Goto(fromSomewhereElse,1) ; see note!

Note: I'm guessing on the pattern matching for the international number. 
I've not had to handle this yet, so I am just guessing based on what 
I've read.

You would also probably want to deal with numbers that didn't present a 
callerid. Check the wiki for examples, I don't know the syntax. (search 
for ex-girlfriend blocking)

HTH!
