asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Using Long Distance Operators

Hi !

I'm in a project of deploying an Asterisk server instead of a Panasonic PBX
on a customer.

Actually, they use a different operator from their PRI supplier for long and
international calls. In the Panasonic PBX, is saved that when a user tries
to reach a long distance number, they dial 9 (for getting dial tone) and
then they dial the number: 0XXXX.... for long distance and 00XXXX.... for
international calls; in the first case, the 0 is replaced for the operator
number, we say 789, so the Panasonic really dials: 789-0-XXXX..... for long
distance calls, and 789-00-XXXX.... for international calls. So, the users
don't dial the "789".

Is there a way to implement that dial plan in the Asterisk?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, something like below should do what you want.

 

Exten = _90.,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/7980${EXTEN:2})
