Easy.  Do *not* have an exten => line in your PRI incoming context that 
matches the number you want SIT to be played for.  At least for Bell Canada 
PRIs, * will return  something along the lines of "no number here" and Bell 
will take care of notifying the calling party.

e.g. if your DID block is 555-1000 to 555-1010 and you want 555-1001 to appear 
out of service:

exten => 5551000,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551002,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551003,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551004,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551005,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551006,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551007,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551008,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551009,1,DoSomething()
exten => 5551010,1,DoSomething()

(note the total absence of 5551001)
