Getting rid of leading ZERO

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I am having a very strange problem:

When I dialout on any number from asterisk, it adds a leading zero in the dialed number, for e.g I dial a number 5832876 and when I check the tracer’s result of the PSTN switch, it shows that my call request was for 05832876. So basically i am able to dial NWD and ISD calls but unable to dial local numbers.

I have tried changing about every option I can think of. I have tried every option for the ‘pridialplan’ field and none have been succesful.

Please if anyone can help it will be very much appreciated for I am completely lost in this case.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

P.S. I am in Pakistan

I think you want some thing like this

exten => _731805XXXX,1,Dial(Zap/r4/${EXTEN:3}) The :3 is to remove the first three digits

Thanks for the reply rusty:

Only problem is that I have tried that as well and what it does is delete the first three digits (in your example) and then add the leading zero anyway. So if I had:

exten => _731805XXXX,1,Dial(Zap/r4/${EXTEN:3})

it would still give me 0805XXXX, even though I am expecting it without the zero.

Still so confused. :frowning:

What are you dialing from SIp Phone?

I have tried from SJ Phone, linksys PAP2 ATA and just from console. None worked.

I assume from the first post you are using a PRI for the outbound call. Since it seems to be adding this 0 even if you tell it to strip the leading digits I would go back and look at the zapata and zaptal file sounds like something buggy in there. Or post them here and maybe someone can spot the problem

Rusty thanks for everything:

Just figured it out, I had my prilocaldialplan and pridialplan lines a little too far down the file.

I swear… :smile:

have a good one.
