Dial Plan Replacement Value

Ron · 03-27-2006, 01:25 PM

Why can't the replacement field value in a Dial Plan be a literal string?

I would like to be able to dial 411 and have it go off to FWD as *18007270986. I tried to be clever with ${EXTEN:3}*18007270986, which is accepted, but dialing 411 always get a fast busy.

I think the problem may be with the 411 part and not the replacement. I tried *${EXTEN:2}8007270986 as the replacement and it came out as valid under number to test. However, when dialing from the phone I get a fast busy.

Here is an option I verified as working. Set 411 as the Speed Dial number and in the SIP URI enter sip:*18007270986@fwd.pulver.com. Then just dial **411. Not as elegant as simply dialing 411, but it works.

Speed dial would be an option, but I don't see any reason NOT to allow literal strings as the replacement value, expecially since you're allowed to apply prefixes and suffixes to ${EXTEN}. It appears the problem is simply a validation check issue on the web page form.

Here's another option that works. Using the Dial Plan on my SPA2000 I added <411:*18007270986><:@fwd.pulver.com> as the first entry. Of course this skips Voxalot, but using this method allows you to just dial 411.

Yes, I'm aware of all these work-arounds, but they don't get the bugs worked out of VoXaLot
