Are you using .conf files, Asterisk Real Time Architecture, a mixture of the two, or some GUI?

If using a GUI, you need to ask on the forum for the GUI, as they often maintain a separate database and build .conf files from that.

If .conf files, are you using extensions.conf, or one of the other formats.

Generally for .conf files, you use an editor with a good regular expression find and replace capability.

If i correctly understood you, im working in the FreePBX v.14 and with .conf files (extensions.conf, pjsip.conf and etc). But the question remains the same - how to do it correctly?
Something tells me that gives all numbers in .conf file one more digit is not solution))))))

If you are using FreePBX you must not modify the files you have listed, and you need to ask on https://community.freepbx.org as the information you are talking about is overwritten,from FreePBX’s database, every time you do a configuration reload, so any changes you make to the Asterisk configuration will not persist.

Note that FreePBX conflates extension numbers and device names, so all the phone will need to have their configurations changed, so, when you go to the correct forum, also tell them how you provisioned the phones.

(The worst case scenario is if you configured the phones manually, offline, in which case, because FreePBX uses extension numbers as device names, you will have to manually reconfigure every phone.)
