Question:
Naturally there are times when need to I reformat an extension in a context as
such:
;Reformat add CC1
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Goto(1${EXTEN},1)
-or-
;Reformat 011 with with +CC
exten => _011X. ,1,Goto(+${EXTEN:3},1)
It's a helpful trick, BUT there are times when I want to send the call to
another context in its original un-reformatted state. Naturally the ${EXTEN}
variable has been changed. It occurred to me to use CALLERID(DNID) as such:
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n(fail),Goto(other-context,${CALLERID(DNID)},1)
...but I am wondering if I can be 100% confident that CALLERID(DNID) will
always be equal to the 'original' ${EXTEN} variable. I observe that they are
the same, but it occurs to me that it may be up to the convention of my ITSP(s)
or PRI provider to populate that value equal to the original ${EXTEN}, and
therefore it may vary over time and between providers.
If the answer is "NO, CALLERID(DNID) is not reliable and can vary between
providers and implementations", I then ask whether there is a RELIABLE place
from which to fetch that original EXTEN value without the added dialplan
overhead of saving it myself
Thanks!
