Dial Plan

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hello all,

I’ve run into a dial plan issue. I have a working asterisk server that can make internal phone calls, outgoing phone calls, and receive incoming phone calls. Problem is that I have it set up so that you must dial ‘9’ before an outbound call. The problem occurs when I have a missed call from a PSTN phone, I click ok to call the person back and it won’t go because it’s calling 555-555-5555 instead of (9)555-555-5555. I would also like to setup 5-digit dialing for internal calls. What’s your suggestion (if you have one) of the best way to

extensions.conf:

[sip]
include => parkedcalls

;----------internal extensions-----------
;extension 0001=phone1
exten => 0001,1,Dial(SIP/phone1,20,tr)

Set the callerID(num) of incoming calls to prefix a 9.

That way you will be able to call them straight back

I see you can use the CALLERID(num)=5555 to show a certain callerID number; however, how would I create the syntax to just set a prefix for all numbers? Not sure how the syntax would be set up

Hi
Set(CALLERID(num)=9${CALLERID(num)})
Without checking …

Ok I have checked on a system

and the following is whats used there

exten => 701967,1,set(CALLERID(num)=9${CALLERID(num)})

Well its the end of a VERY long week.

iF it dosesnt work then stick some Noops in to see whats happening
