In other words ATM it will only work if you dial the full number including the country code. In the next release, there will be an option to instruct the system to perform the lookup before consulting the dial plan or after applying the dial plan.

Martin,
I can come up with a multitude of perfectly reasonable examples where ENUM lookups will fail regardless of whether they're performed before consulting the dial plan or after applying the dial plan. The flexibility and power of a Dial Plan to convert arbitrary input formats, coupled with the highly inconsistent output formats required by various providers, makes it virtually impossible for a simple before/after option to solve the ENUM lookup problem.
What I think is needed is the addition of a second replacement field in the Dial Plan. The existing replacement field doesn't change except for being called "Replacement to Provider". The added replacement field is called "Replacement to ENUM". It works exactly like the existing replacement field except its output is used for the ENUM lookup.
Doesn't this get rid of all restrictions and ambiguities and ensure that both the provider and ENUM get exactly what they expect regardless of the original dialed number?
