Hi, I have not been successful in working out how to dial a # within a phone number. EG: exten => _12345,1,Dial(Zap/1/0868563823#,5,t) or exten => _08XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN}#) I'm trying to append a # character so that I can use a cellsocket (mobile phone to pots adapter) connected to an x100p. I think that asterisk is simply ignoring the # character. The docs on the Dial command dont mention any special characters. I'd say someone must have come up against this before for other services too that require * or # characters. Any help would be great!

I found the answer to the problem I was having with Asterisk, an X100P, a Cell Socket with Nokia phone and dialing the # character. It wasn't a problem with the # character at all - the problem was that I had the txgain set to -4.5 (which was working well on an analogue phone line). I changed this to 1.0 and that fixed it. The only other thing I had to do was put a leading pause into the number being dialed by the X100P to give the cellsocket some time to get ready to receive the DTMF digits. My Dial command for this is: exten => _08XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/w${EXTEN}#) (In Ireland all mobile numbers start with 08 followed by 8 digits). The cellsocket now is working very well and I'm saving myself money routing daytime mobile calls through a mobile phone rather than through land lines.
