Of course check your dialplan first, but if that fails, monitor the PSTN 
line with a buttset and/or digitgrabber, you probably will find that 
Asterisk is dialing without waiting for dialtone, so the first digit is 
not detected at the CO.
Some versions will allow a "w" to wait 1/2 second before starting to 
dial, bur it doesn't always work, and there seems to be little interest 
in detecting dialtone before dialing.
The NANP was SUPPOSED to require  7/10 digit local and 11 digit toll 
dialing, but since that is now a state by state determination, there is 
little "plan" left in the NANP
