Default Possible ENUM Lookup Problem

Following my problems described in this thread http://forum.voxalot.com/showthread.php?t=76 I did further testing and what nots.

One of the reasons for using Voxalot is it is able to do an ENUM lookup before routing to my provider thus saving me more money when possible. For ENUM lookup the number dialed has to conform to a certain international format. [Country Code] + [Area Code] + [Number] Sometimes "Area Code" is non-existent for some countries and can be ignored.

So for Australian numbers I have to send to Voxalot 61393213210. Any other way ENUM lookup will not be possible (i think).

If an ENUM could not be found, Voxalot will change that number and route it to my provider according to my dial plans in Voxalot.

I have tweaked my dial plans several times and it is now this:

1 _11 ${EXTEN} AstraTel [Edit] [Delete]
2 _613XXXXXXXX 0${EXTEN:2} AstraTel [Edit] [Delete]
3 _04XXXXXXXX ${EXTEN} PennyTel [Edit] [Delete]
4 _[1-5789]NXXXX. 0011${EXTEN} PennyTel [Edit] [Delete]
5 _03. ${EXTEN} PennyTel [Edit] [Delete]
6 _*XXXXX. ${EXTEN} Sipbroker [Edit] [Delete]

I have tried several Australian PSTN numbers and they all work, EXCEPT mine. I know my PSTN number is in the ENUM registry e164.org. I know all the other numbers I've tried and worked are not in any ENUM registry.

My guess is something went wrong in the ENUM lookup for my PSTN number and I got a fast busy tone.

Next I sent my PSTN number in this format 0393213210 and it worked.

Note: My ENUM is mapped to my Freecall account. At no stage did I use my Freecall account to dial my PSTN number. Thus my Freecall account remained at my address during all the testing.

Can someone who knows of an ENUM number test this theory for me?
