 but you could do the following:
 exten => _.,1,DigitTimeout,5
 exten => _.,2,ResponseTimeout,10
 exten => _.,3,SetVar(areacode=666)
 exten => _.,4,Background(zz-in-who)
 include => extensions
 include => applications
 include => speeddials
 exten => i,1,PlayBack(Invalid-Ext)
 exten => i,2,HangUp
 exten => t,1,PlayBack(NoExtensionEntered)
 exten => t,2,Hangup

yes, i could; and i did. problem is that it does not seem to work; hence my posting. it plays the background and then falls through to invalid on the first keypress.

i suspect this may be a sipura config issue again causing a
double invite; but i am not sure.

how do i hack this?
 Don't, I suggest you read the handbook, the wiki, and/or the
 archives.

been there. done that. but thanks for the pointers.

[ btw, search function in wiki is not real great, to be polite;
  but that issue is not local to this wiki ]

I would suggest never using "_." anywhere, since that matches "i", "t", "h", and a host of other "special" extensions that are used internally in Asterisk's dialplan, which will result in unexpected extension handling.
In many cases, the match "_X." is what you want, since that matches at least one _digit_ and then any number of other digits. If that isn't quite what you want, then a combination of "_X" and "_X." might work in some cascading fashion.


This may not solve the problem you're having, but is a good syntax/logic habit to develop when creating complex dialplans.
