Perhaps the easiest way is to set a variable in the SIP peer that is
equal to the same value as you have set in the "context=xxx..." setting.
[snom33942]
type=peer
secret=blahblahblah
qualify=200
nat=yes
context=my-internal-context
setvar=SIPCONTEXT=internal-context
Then can evaluate ${SIPCONTEXT} in your dialplan.
It is often useful to set other variables in this way as well, so you
can have some "static" values that don't change depending on how the
call is handled. For instance, I often set the "human-readable"
caller ID name (like "Joe Smith") as a variable in the SIP peer for
small systems that aren't database-driven. This lets me ignore what
the phone says. It's a bit crude when compared to more sophisticated
solutions using realtime or other database systems, but often that is
overkill for smaller PBX or PBX-like systems and setting variables in
sip.conf is sufficient. "There's more than one way to do it."
Or am I over-simplifying your question?
