That depends on what you mean by default.  The supplied sample

OK, that explains it, just wondering why the sample extensions.conf
turns it off, while the O'Reilly Asterisk book and alomst everything you
see on the web uses it ???

I would have thought the default would be to have it on?

In 1.2 we switched from priority jumping to returning values in
STATUS variables. If you look in the sample extensions.conf you
will see how that work, that the result of dial() is now returned in
the DIALSTATUS variable.

Using DIALSTATUS will give you many more ways to control the
result of dial, than just checking for +101. You can react to no answer,
congestion, busy, privacy and other things.

Even more detailed status is frequently available in the HANGUPCAUSE
variable that uses ISDN cause codes.

"Show application dial" is your best friend.

For each application that used to return priority+101 or something else
there's a new XXXXSTATUS variable that you can use.

We do no longer accept patches that use priority jumping, that's
a remain from the past that will be removed in future versions of
Asterisk. From the file UPGRADE.txt in the svn trunk distribution:

"Applications:

* In previous Asterisk releases, many applications would jump to priority n+101 to indicate some kind of status or error condition. This functionality was marked deprecated in Asterisk 1.2. An option to disable it was provided with the default value set to 'on'. The default value for the global priority
  jumping option is now 'off'."
