This is a question I am almost too embarassed to ask but here we go ...
Is it not possible to use the i extension to trap attempts of users misdialling numbers otherwise not in the dialplan/context?
I have seen this in so many examples and I always thought "Oh, this
will come in handy one day" but never actually had to use it. Now, as
I have a customer who is complaining every day about the Asterisk
server "not working" because they seem to have fingers to thick for
their phones' keypads or suffer from some rare form of number
dislexia, I would really like to trap all those cases where they dial
some invalid number that's not matching anything in the
dialplan/context and play an invalid number/extension recording back
to the user. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work and I couldn't
find anything other than the Wiki page that also says it doesn't work
but fails to explain why. So, what's the story on this?
Hmm, I thought this was working for me when I used it last:
This explicitly repeats the invalid number back to them; you could prefix it with a message saying "the number you dialed" and postfix with "is invalid, blah blah"..
exten => i,1,SayDigits(${INVALID_EXTEN})
exten => i,2,Goto(s,1)-SteveK
