<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>We have an automated greeting on our Asterisk phone system, that like many, has the phrase "if you know your party's extension, you may dial it at any time".<br><br></div>
Today, I encountered a user dialing in from the outside, attempting to dial an extension, but he was appending the # key at the end.<br><br>This, as I would have expected, made Asterisk think he was trying to call the extension 2134#, which went nowhere.<br>
<br></div></div>Personally, unless instructed to do so, typically with the phrase "followed by the pound sign", I don't enter a pound sign when dialing a user extension or inputting digits on phone system menus.<br>
</div><br>Is stripping the # sign off of extensions dialed from an automated greeting something most phone systems do?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br></div>Vernon<br><div><div><br><br></div></div></div>
