Missing a colon?

 	${EXTEN:-1}

Does that work?  I've always seen it like this:

	${EXTEN:1}

No. I was so focused on the tree, I missed the forest :)

   	${EXTEN:-x} means 'return the last x digits'

  	${EXTEN:x} means 'return all but the first x digits'

So, ${EXTEN:1} is correct for this use.

Something like (tested!):

         exten = _9nxxxxxx,1,            verbose(The 'raw' exten is
${EXTEN})
         same = n,                       set(MY-AREA-CODE=760)
         same = n,                       set(DNIS=${MY-AREA-CODE}${EXTEN:1})
         same = n,                       verbose(The full DNIS is ${DNIS})
         same = n,                       dial(sip/1${DNIS}@vitel-outbound,60,r)
         same = n,                       hangup()

is closer to what the OP needs. Note the 'n' in the pattern.
