[Asterisk-Users] Local vs. toll Dial Plan

[Doug Crompton]

Probably 100 is not large considering some situations. I am about to put
my Verizon call plan to a minimum. At that time there will be certain
exchanges that I mine as well dial local while others will be cheaper via
voip even thought they are only 10 miles away. Once I find out the rates I
need to put that logic into *. I also have multiple area code overlay's to
deal with.

My talk of efficiency is not in code timing it is in readablity and
ability to make changes easily. If I could put all the exchanges in a
table or database and refer to them as valid in a particular instance
saying in one line or a macro in * if the exten I am dialing matches any
of these then do this.
