[asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

If you do not dial 9 then there will be a conflict between internal 
extensions and external phone numbers.

How would Asterisk determine if you are dialing extension 458 or 
458-1234?  It cannot.  Asterisk would have to wait for a timeout when 
dialing the extensions.  If you force users to always dial 11 digits 
(1-504-555-1212) for all calls, then you just have to make sure there 
are no extensions starting with "1" and you won't have problems.

This is, of course, for NANPA.  If your country uses a different 
numbering plan then the details will be different, but the idea is the same.
