We have implemented * in one of our branch offices and recently ran up against a very strange issue. On random occasions, when we would dial out using our trunk lines, we would get a message stating “you do not have to dial a 1 or 0 when calling this number” even if we didn’t dial a 1 or 0 in the dial sequence at all. After much troubleshooting, we found users with similar issues that simply put a wait (w$EXTEN) in the dial sequence and fixed the problems. We did the same and it automagically fixed itself. This is great, of course, but I was wondering if someone out there could give me a more detailed explanation of why this works and why you have to implement this trick with some telecom providers and not with others. Verison provides our trunks at our branch office, but this issue has never arisen at our home office where we have SBC. We are running * v1.0 with a Digium 4 port FXO TDM card.

 

Thanks,

Heath Bowlin
