Alternatively, if you don't have that extension defined anywhere, Asterisk will jump to the i extension, where you can then read the actual entered digits from the INVALID_EXTEN variable and jump back to the main part of the dialplan.
Note that if they enter digits that *could* match a defined extension, Asterisk won't necessarily jump to the i extension until more digits are entered which may or may not cause no explicitly defined extensions to be matched.
