Dial plan with * prefix

[jrjjr]

Is this possible? CallWithUs requires a *32 prefix to specify premium routing. When I try to implement that in my dial plan, everything goes to SipBroker.

It depends on how you have setup your DialPlan....

This is how I've set mine up to allow routing:

Pattern:094*xx.
Replacement: ${EXTEN:3}
Provider: CallWithUs
Active: Yes
All Other Settings below this: No


So if I dial 094*321xxxxxxxxxx, it'll call *321xxxxxxxxxx via CallWithUs (hope that helps)...

There is a good chance your issue is more related to having left ENum lookup to Yes though....

Thanks, Emoci. This is sort of interesting. I can get to a workable solution as you describe, but I still can't figure out why it works that way. Here are a few of the permutations I've tried:

Using only *32 prefix pattern (no negative count, no prepend):
A call to:*32XXXXXXXXXXX will get forwarded to *32XXXXXXXXXXX via SIP Broker

Using negative count to strip numeric prefix (works, as per your suggestion):
A call to:0*32XXXXXXXXXXX will get forwarded to *32XXXXXXXXXXX via Call With Us

A slightly shorter version using a *32 prepend:
A call to:0*XXXXXXXXXXX will get forwarded to *32XXXXXXXXXXX via Call With Us

However it's not possible to strip only * and then prepend *32:
A call to:*14158371012 will get forwarded to *14158371012 via SIP Broker

I'm just trying to figure out the simplest possible way to prepend the *32 and send via Call With Us instead of SipBroker. Version #3 seems best so far.

Unfortunately any * call will be by default send via SipBroker... Think of it as if there is a rule with higher priority than all other rules in your Dial Plan which ensures all calls of the *xxxxx format go via SipBroker....

The reason this default rule applies to all accounts is that it lets someone who just created an account to be able to call any SipBroker destination and all other VoXalot users without having to bother with setting up Dial Plans...

The simplest way I can see is this:

Pattern: _xx.
Replacement: *3${EXTEN}
Provider: CallWithUs
Active: Yes
Other 3 settings: No

So now to call you pretty much dial Route-Number...

eg. 2-Number (will call number via CallWithUs Route 2)
3-Number (will call number via CallWithUs Route 3)

Thanks. For my purposes, I settled on:

Pattern: _#xx.
Replacement: *362${EXTEN:1}
Provider: CallWithUs

Not as flexible, but short and no conflict with my other dial plans.

Does it work?

I defined replacement as simple *32${EXTEN}, and voxalot "test" button shows that number is built correctly and routed through callwithus... But - I'm getting "you dialed incorrect number" from Voxalot. I checked that this call didn't even reach callwithus.
