As far as I can remember (and our ITSP is telling us to do) the 'dial international' code will be gone soon. In our case we have to provide the number like this: <country code><region><endpoint>[<extra digits>] So for a dutch number you send: 31318787243 31 == .nl 318 == my local region 787243 == my endpoint I see this more and more. not only ITSP, also PSTN providers and cellphone providers. cellphone providers use this most of the time: +<country><region><endpont> The above number looks like: +31318787243 Try to get that from your telco, it makes life way more easy. -- Michiel van Baak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?" _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
