[Asterisk-Users] How to create [new_context] in extensions.conf?

[Aaron Daniel]

Yes.

Just create a context that you want the phones to dial from in 
extensions.conf.

[context_name]
exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/1234)
exten => 1234,2,Hangup

Once you have that, just change the context = line to read "context = 
context_name" and the phone will use that context for outgoing calls :)
