[Asterisk-Users] really need help with outgoing calls..PSTN errors

More and more areas of the US require 10 digit local dialing, and 11 
digit toll dialing.
Unfortunately, that isn't universally true. Some states have decreed 
that 11 digits will be dialed for local and toll, other locales have 7 
digit dialing across state lines, and at least one location, probably 
more, require 7 digit dialing to another state for one NPA, and 11 digit 
for it's overlay.
Mobile providers in the US usually require only 10 digits, and fill in 
the "1" within the phone.

The only rule is there are no rules. The result of local/state rule.
