Your issue is actually in the [line1_outbound] context that I have quoted above. Here is what happens: As far as Disa() is concerned, any 4 digit number is a valid extension. Once you dial something (whether is valid at the other end or not), the call goes on and executes Dial(). However, since the number you have dialed is not valid, Dial() immediately returns and then Hangup is executed. That is when the call is dropping. So, I can think of a few different ways to solve this issue. The first couple involve using an IAX2 or DUNDi switch statement in the line1_outbound context. That would allow Asterisk to query the remote server as to what extensions are valid. However, I won't get into the details of how that is configured right now ... The other alternative is to solve it in the dialplan, with something like this: [line1_outbound] exten => disa,1,Disa(no-password|line1_outbound) exten => _XXXX,1,Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => _XXXX,n,Congestion exten => _XXXX,n,Wait(10) ; Give Congestion for 10 seconds exten => _XXXX,n,Hangup You could improve this even further by checking the DIALSTATUS and playing different tones, or just hanging up, accordingly.
