As a final followup for the archives since this is now working, the correct way to handle outbound calls for this pstn service provider (Cox Cable) was to use pridialplan=unknown (per the provider). With this parameter, essentially any number of digits can be sent to them (eg, 7 digit, 10 digit). As a side note, they allow CallerID Num to be forward to them and they accept it, but they do not accept any form of CallerID Name at all.
