Check features.conf - there are combinations reserved for transfer etc.
In my feature.conf, "*0" was reserved for "hangup" (until I commented it
out).

My personal opinion for dialplans is that they should not use the "*"
and "#" keys for regular numbers - it just does not feel right. You are
of course free to differ :-)
