This is not correct - you are presenting an internal number as a Caller-ID
with a TON of "National". You should set a valid Caller-ID in your dialplan
before calling Dial(). Or via whatever GUI you might be using.

However, this probably isn't the cause of failure - BT should just ignore
the Caller-ID.

However, I think this is wrong, and probably the cause of the failure.
It is saying that you have "pridialplan=national" (the default), but you
are giving a complete number. This is effectively dialling the number
'00035316602311'.

The first thing to make sure is that your pridialplan= and xxxprefix=
directives in zapata.conf are BEFORE the channels to which they apply.
When you have a channel= directive in the file, those channels will be
created with the parameters that have ALREADY been seen in the file,
and any parameters that come later, won't apply to those channels.

Also, don't forget you need to restart Asterisk if you change the details
in zapata.conf (perhaps reload might be enough, but I'm never sure).

This response field is telling you there is no such number as 00035316602311

[remainder snipped]

Things you need to try, exactly:

1) Make sure the pri and prefix directives are before the channel list.
2) Change to "pridialplan=unknown" and try dialling both UK and Ireland.
3) Change to "pridialplan=dynamic" with "nationalprefix=0" and
   "internationalprefix=00", and try dialling both UK and Ireland.

If that still doesn't work, and you are happy to give me remote ssh access,
email me privately.

Cheers
Tony
