Sending a number to a context starting with a "+"

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I have a soft client that sends numbers in the form of
+xxxxxxxxxx

For example it will remove any users international dial code and add a “+” instead.

My problem is that when I sent it to a context I keep on getting

SIP/2.0 488 Not acceptable here
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.0.0.3:6839;received=81.5.173.92;rport=24191
From: “joe bloggs” sip:5200@yourisp.com;tag=0283fae85e1e4d458e3a0c79c52fd0e6;epid=0e8bed6910
To: sip:+442075177164@yourvoip.com:5060;user=phone;tag=as41b339f5
Call-ID: afccd34b3a7146c0bafe00c27b3cf953@10.0.0.3
CSeq: 1 INVITE
User-Agent: Asterisk PBX

I have tried different things in the extension.conf context

ie:

+XXXX.
!XXXX.
_+XXXX.
+|XXXX.

With no luck.

Any suggestions - I just want to be able to find the patten in the context then strip the “+” and pass onto my ITSP.

Using asterisk @ home verion 1.5 and also will have a 2.4 ready tommorrow.

Thanks

Hi,

I’m only a *Beginner, I’ve had a look at the pattern syntax for Asterisk here ->
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Dialplan+Patterns

So I’d have a go at making the pattern
_[+]XXXXXXXXXXXX

Make sure that you get the correct number of X’s there or perhaps for a quick test use the wild card

_[+].

That would allow you to see if it matches the “+” char. If it works get rid of the wild card ASAP and put in a proper pattern.

Good luck and let me know how you get on.

PS I’ve just had another thought that it may be the outgoing channel might not like the + syntax
I’d try something like

Change things which don’t apply like your outbound channel.

(PPS - I have no idea whether this will work.)
