asterisk users - Mar 2005 - problem with 1 dialing (recording says must dial 1 when I thought I did)

TRUNKMSD1=1                                     ; MSD digits to strip
(usually 1 or 0)
TRUNKMSD2=2                                     ; MSD digits to strip
(usually 1 or 0)

; logn distance calls
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,NoOp("Dialing:
"${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD1}})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD1}})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Congestion


When I dial a long distance number (916503270309 for example) I get the
message (I think from SBC) saying I must first dial a 1.  Other times,
it works, like when I dial this number (914082341389).

Any ideas why would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Peter

I have a TDM400P with two FXS and two FXO's.

My extensions.conf


TRUNKMSD1=1                                     ; MSD digits to strip
(usually 1 or 0)
TRUNKMSD2=2                                     ; MSD digits to strip
(usually 1 or 0)

; logn distance calls
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,NoOp("Dialing:
"${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD1}})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD1}})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Congestion

Maybe the first digit is dialed before the dialtone, try adding a 'w'
before ${EXTEN..., e.g.

exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNK}/w${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD1}})

Your dial command is stripping the one.  That's what the ${EXTEN:1} part 
does.  So, yes, you are dialing the 1, but the dial command is stripping 
it.

If you want to keep the one, use this:

exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN})

I have no idea where you're located.  Is it maybe that you have 10-digit 
dialing and that the one that works is a local call, and therefore does 
not need the 1?
