Instead of XXX,1,Blah() use _X.,1,Blah() then.

Or, you can use a exten => s,1,WaitExten(<number of seconds to wait for 
user input>) too. If the user doesn't dial anything, the call will be 
redirected to the 't' extension if you have it.

For a better understanding of dialplan basics, how dialplan pattern 
matching works and special 't', 'i' ,'s', 'h', and others please "RTFM":
