Your ACL must be working fine.  The call is failing at the next stage: there 
isn't a matching extension in the context where the call comes in.

Ah, so the call comes in in context "Test".  So, look to your dialplan, then. 
Does this context have any extensions defined in it?  Or, if you created your 
dialplan using includes, did you remember to include everything you should 
have?  (And remember that it's case sensitive.)
