[asterisk-users] IVR extension dialing error

[Alejandro Cabrera Obed]

Hi, I tell you I've made some calls from a land-phone to my IVR in
order to avoid the possible poor quality of cell phone's DTMF, and
when I called extension 1003 I was connected to extension 1000
again....the same error.

My IVR says "dial 1 to connect to operator or dial the extension in
case you know".....and my extension ranges is 1000-1999, so I think it
could be a problem that extensions and IVR option start with the same
digit: 1.

When I'll be at work I'm thinking in modify the IVR speech in order to
say "dial 0 to connect to operator.....", and not "dial 1 to connect
to operator....", so IVR option and extensions will not start with the
same digit.

Do you think this may be the problem ???

Thanks a lot and sorry for my interruption.

Alejandro
