Steve,
What I had problems using 'i' also, what worked for me was the
following...
For example, I have a bunch of extensions I'm matching on in a
particular context. Keep in mind, the stdexten macro you see below is
not defined properly, and is for example only.
[extensions]
exten => 3201,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => 3202,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => 3203,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => 3204,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => 3205,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => 3206,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => _XXXX,1,Answer
exten => _XXXX,2,Wait(1)
exten =>
_XXXX,3,Playback(/usr/src/test/asterisk-sounds/sounds/jedi-extension-tri
ck)
exten =>
_XXXX,4,Playback(/usr/src/test/asterisk-sounds/sounds/please-try-again)
exten => _XXXX,5,Read(NUMBER,,4)
exten => _XXXX,6,Goto(${NUMBER}|1)
What happens is, after all of your possibly matchs have failed (since it
matches top to bottom in the context), it catches the _XXXX (match all)
extension, which I consider to be invalid, since it matched none of my
defined entries above it.
From there you can do whatever you want with the call. In my case, I
decided to have some fun. =)

Yes but I try that and it doesnt even go to it, I am trying to have the
invalid handler be executed when the extension a user tries to dial from
the SIP phone is not in any of the contexts (non-existant)... I've tried
this and placed it in several contexts and it does not work.

Set up a general pattern match with the message and congestion.
Extension pattern matching looks for the most specific match in any
one
context. So if a specific extension is not found, it will take the
general pattern.
Wouldn't it be a little better to use the special 'invalid extension'
extension -- 'i'? Something like...
exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)
exten => i,2,Busy
