Normal dialplan does not execute while a call is connected.  That is what
the interception macro/routines are for.  That is where you use
CONNECTEDLINE to manipulate the connected line party information as it is
passing through Asterisk.  You can also block the connected line update
when the call initially connects using the Dial 'I' option.
