Hi,

The use of INFO for sending additional digits (if you are talking about
overlap dialling) has also been discussed, and the general understanding
then was that INFO should NOT be used for that.

It is RECOMMENDED that overlap dialling is not done in SIP in the first
place, but there is a draft (draft-ietf-sip-overlap-01.txt) on it.
