I need someone to explain how the dialplan rules work? I'm having a hard
time getting it. I know that to dial out you need a 9 and to ignore that 9
once your out... requires a switch of sorts that tells asterisk to ignore
the first digit on the left.

In freePBX it's this:
9|NXXXXXX

For Long distance it is
9|1NXXNXXXXXX

Here is my problem using Free PBX:

I want to be able to dial long distance and local at will while using free
PBX to set it up. Right now we have 1 line for testing purposes and soon to
be expanded into 2.

When the rules are arranged like this in FreePBX
9|1NXXNXXXXXX
9|NXXXXXX

the long distance portion works but the local one does not.

When its arranged like this

9|NXXXXXX
9|1NXXNXXXXXX

They both work!

But the above is only done when it's hard coded into the configuration file
(additional_extensions.conf) and free PBX always puts it in this order...
wether I like it or not.

9|1NXXNXXXXXX
9|NXXXXXX

And causes problems in the configuration file when and I change the
settings. This isn't going to help me much!

Im just a tad bit confused.

A Little help here?

If the order is giving you problems, create two separate outbound routes,
one for local calls and one for long distance. Make sure the local route is
before the LD route, and it should work for you. Both outbound routes can
use the same trunk without issue.
