Configuring Callcentric cohabitation with GV

My GV dialplan works as follows:

[quote]GV1 (extension1): 1NXXNXXXXXX
GV2 (extension2): 91NXXNXXXXXX[/quote]

I would like to configure callcentric.com (VOIP) dialing as follows:

In other words, I would like to have numbers pre-fixed with 8 routed through the callcentric.com channel.

Test observations:

[quote]Calls to the callcentric: No dialing ring straight to: “Welcome to Callcentric, the person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try your call again later. Message 1004”.

QUESTION 1) Is Asterisk 1.8 completely \ correctly logged in to callcentric.com?

Outbound attempts to dial result in a tone that indicates invalid dialing sequence. My gut says that calls are not routed to the callcentric outbound extension of the dialplan. It would be nice if had visibility into the system when it tries to match the dialed number against the logic in the extension above or had some kind of printf() instead of dial(). Any constructive actionable suggestions \ observations regarding SIP.CONF \ dialplan and their integration is appreciated.

UPDATE: I added this line the [to-callcentric] dialplan extension:

[quote]exten => _811,1,Dial(SIP/18004664411@proxy.ideasip.com,60) ;Test point “# out of Service”
Dialing 811 played the “out of service message” as expected. Therefore, I take it back: [to-callcentric] logic is being executed. There must be something wrong in the dialplan. Next step: hard code 811 to dial known good callcentric #.

exten => _811,1,Dial(SIP/1777202XXXX@callcentric.com,60)

Received busy dial tone. I SIP dialed this number from Fring and the number rings the phone. I take it back (again!): it’s not necessarily the dial plan. This means the connection to callcentric VOIP must be goobered up. [/quote]

Is this the problem? https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=18932 I am hoping that I am wrong and that someone out there has setup 1.8.4 (preferably Optware) with Callcentric successfully.
