[asterisk-users] Read command - input correction not taken in account

[Danny Nicholas]

Since the Read command takes in its input 1 digit at a time (I don't think
this changes in 1.8 or 10.X either), your best option here would be to
follow the read with a "press 1 to accept or 2 to re-enter" IVR

[get-number]
Exten => s,1,Read(number,prompt1,10,skip,1,10)
Exten => s,n,Background(1-ok-2-reenter)
Exten => s,n,goto(get-number,1,1)
Exten => 1,1,Dial(SIP/111,${number})
Exten => 1,n,hangup
Exten => 2,1,goto(get-number,s,1)

Hi all,

using asterisk 1.4 or 1.6, I face a problem with the read command.

I call my asterisk box which ask me to enter the number I wish to call. 
Problem is that if I make a mistake in the number and correct it on the
phone keyboard (smartphone under android, the same with nokias series E),
asterisk already took the digit and just append the next one insteed of
replacing the previous one as shown on the phone display.

Is there a way of getting this working as expected with the read command?
Another solution?

Thanks for any hint
