asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Out bound calls 'you must first dial a 1'

Hello,

I have asterisk 1.2.9 running on a Debian sarge server, my outbound dial 
plan looks something like this:

[outbound-longdistance]
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(${OUTBOUND1}/${EXTEN:1})


About every other outbound call we make, we get the 'you must first dial a 
1' message from our phone provider. It only seems to happen every other try 
if we try to make multiple out bound calls without waiting 5 minutes in 
between.

My outbound line is set to: OUTBOUND1=Zap/2-1


Has anyone seen this or know of a fix for it? Please let me know. thanks.


George

This has been covered quite a bit in the archives.  Some providers want 
a second or two wait before the dial.  Asterisk is dialing too fast.  
Add a wait or two:
