--- RE: Forcing a US Style Dialplan (http://www1.pbxes.com/forum/threadid.php?threadid=632)

Forcing a US Style Dialplan

I use a number of PAYG providers to create my own rate plan. The majority of providers are US based and use the US style dialplan, e.g. 011 for international calls. I'm using two European providers for routes to certain mobiles and to get access to international freephone numbers.

My users will kill me if I tell them "you must dial 01144" to call UK landlines, but "0044" when you are calling UK mobiles. To make things "easy" I wanted to remap the "011s" to "00s" for these routes.

I tried 011|+00. in the dial patterns and this didn't seem to do it. I also tried stripping the 011 int he dial patterns and adding the "00" in the trunk.

If it is possible, I would prefer to do this edit in the trunk by the way. For UK mobiles, my cheapest route is a European provider and my second cheapest is a US provider. I would like to put both of these routes in my outbound routings.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

I am speaking from memory here, but it seems that you can remove a dialing prefix in the outbound route then prepend the proper code at the trunk.

What I mean is in the case of your UK cell phones , remove the (dialed) 011 in the outbound route , then add the 00 in the trunk

You can write it into the trunk but the correct syntax would be 00+011| (instead of 011|+00).
