[Asterisk-Users] Dial with 44 and +44 prefix

[James Steven]

Hi 

I have inserted the lines you suggested but Asterisk keeps the 0 when
dialling with all alternatives.  Also, I am unsure what the phrase
"${EXTEN::2}${EXTEN:3}" does?  Could you explain this abit?

My extensions.conf is:

[default] 
exten => _0[1-9].,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/44${EXTEN:1})
exten => _00.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/${EXTEN:2})
exten => _440.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/44${EXTEN:3})
exten => _09XX,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/${EXTEN})
exten => _44.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/${EXTEN})

Thanks
James

exten => _440.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/44${EXTEN:3})

You could probably do it by playing around with different offets as well:

exten => _440.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/${EXTEN::2}${EXTEN:3})

This would be more flexible if you wanted to do the same for different
country codes, for example:

exten => _NX0.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/${EXTEN::2}${EXTEN:3})

That would remove the zero from any 2-digit country code.

exten => _NXX0.,1,Dial(IAX2/12345 at XXXX/${EXTEN::3}${EXTEN:4})

That'd do the same thing for a 3-digit country code.

Regards,

Chris
