Dial Plan with * not working as expected

[richard]

Hi Martin

I am trying to create a dial-plan that accepts a user dialed number beginning with an (*) asterisk and have Voxalot replace the dialed number with a new number but its not working.

Here is what I did:

Pattern : _*98
Replacement : *500${EXTEN:-3}
Provider : Voxalot

Unfortunately the "Test" always comes back as:

"A call to:*98 will get forwarded to *98 via SIP Broker"

It is always going to Sip Broker rather than Voxalot, thus not going to Voxalot Voicemail as intended.

If I remove the * in the Pattern, the call is properly directed to Voxalot.

What I am trying to do is have the user enter * codes (Bell Codes, for accessing Voicemail, etc.) that they are use to and have it work as it would on their regular PSTN phone.

Any idea why the system keeps sending this number to SipBroker instead of Voxalot as requested?

Thanks in advance


Richard
