[asterisk-users] Read one or X DTMF

[Ruddy Gbaguidi]

But user just needs to enter * instead of *#
We are doing this because 80% of the callers already have an account, 
so, instead of playing :
"If you have an account, press 1, if not press 2"

we prefer to play

"Enter you account now or press * if you don't have any"
