[asterisk-users] Outbound DID: in sip.conf or dialplan or db?

[Roland]

Thank you for your answer.

First of all: I didn't name my sip accounts the same as my extension
numbers. So I cannot just Dial SIP/${EXTEN} in my case. Also this 100
number block is mapped to extensions for our primary location, but we will
be connection other locations where extension numbers are not mapped
directly to DID's. So for those locations, this technique will not work.

So I came up with this dialplan:

exten => _00Z.,1,NoOp(Call received from ${CALLERID(num)} context
${CONTEXT} to ${EXTEN:1})
  same => n,Set(CID=${DID_BYSIP(SIP/${CALLERID(num)},${CONTEXT})})
  same => n,GotoIf(${CID}?setCid:setDef)
  same => n(setDef),Set(CALLERID(num)=31229253131)
  same => n,Goto(setRoute)
  same => n(setCid),Set(CALLERID(num)=${CID})
  same => n(setRoute),GotoIf($[${CALLERID(num)}=31852013900]?otconnect:voys)
  same => n(otconnect),Set(OUT=999210485)
  same => n,Goto(dodial)
  same => n(voys),Set(OUT=143810001)
  same => n(dodial),Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@${OUT})
  same => n,Hangup()

This seems to work. The only thing that worries me, is that
${CALLERID(num)} can easily be overwritten. On the other hand the
configuration is in my hands, so I guess I just have to be carefull, and
not mess around with callerid(num) too much.
