Hi That seems to work fine now using Z for the last line. Thanks very much for your help and explanations.
Incidentally, we are using VoipTalk but are looking to trial another provider as have been experiencing the occasional call cut out and quality issues. Out of interest, do you have experience of VoipTalk's service or know of their reputation for service quality?

Also, I am unsure what the phrase > "${EXTEN::2}${EXTEN:3}" does? Could you explain this abit? The syntax is {EXTEN:initial offset:length} So EXTEN:3 chops off the first three digits and has no length, so it goes to the end of the number. EXTEN::2 has no offset, so starts from the beginning of the number, but only has a length of 2 (so you get the first 2 digits) By putting the 2 together you *should* get the first 2 digits, skip one, then the rest of the number. > exten => _0[1-9].,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/44${EXTEN:1}) > exten => _00.,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN:2}) > exten => _440.,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/44${EXTEN:3}) > exten => _09XX,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN}) > exten => _44.,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN}) You're using Voiptalk I see :-) It may be the sort order of extensions that's catching you out here. If _44. is matched before _440. then you'll still get the zero in there. Try this for your last line: exten => _44N.,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN}) (N should be the same as [1-9] I think) Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.
