There's no tracker issue yet - It was suggested to create one since the
CDR record "showed" when active, but is not visible under historic. This
may have o do with the error code received back when it failed and
whether sipx could properly interpret the code and write the record?

In either case the call failed, but the bigger issue is that it
"probably" failed since the dialplan is executing a prefix that is
stated to be numeric only, since I can enter "9+" instead of "9".  One
would suspect sipxconfig should not allow this to be entered if it is
not setup to address it properly.

I'm not sure I can enter a tracker issue right now since I don't
totally understand how I got in this mess to begin with and have had to
revert from our production system to a standby PBX (analog) system in
order to dial out right now.

I'm curious to know if there is a way to manually modify the prefix to
allow a character other than numeric only and see if sipx will properly
strip the character.

If it cannot, then the issue would be? If the number dialed is 

"+19195551212", 

How come sipx can't execute it it it's a valid E164 number? Or, why is
a "+" not allowable in the preifx if its a valid character for E164?

Once I understand how to "workaround" this, or not, I can file a
tracker issue that more thoroughly explains the problem as a whole so it
can be addressed one time, instead of two.

Thanks,

Tony

Is there already a tracker issue on this or are we still in the process
of finding out what is going on?

Is there a way to change the dialplan prefix to allow characters
besides
integers;

"Prefixes
Prefixes can be integers (e.g. 2), ranges (e.g. 1-5),or lists (e.g.
2,3,4)"

without transforming the characters into something unpassable (i.e.
from
+ to %2B) or strip them before sending to the gateway?

In the dial plan, it says the prefix MUST be a number.

If this is the case, it is actually accepting a non-numeric input, but
the transform is "very" unpredictable, but perhaps not a CDR bug as
much
as a sipxconfig/dialplan bug in that it accepts it and transforms it
to
something "unpassable".

How does anyone get around the issue of sending a "+" since it can't
be
stripped, and is not strip-able or sendable by sipx via a dial rule?

I'm still trying to understand the issue. It displays to CDR that way
when I use a + as the PSTN prefix. I can find no other way for the
call
to even get through the dialplan.

Even when it gets throughs it sends %2B1 to the gateway (ingate, which
can't interpret this either. I've tried many variations to "strip"
that
with a custom dialplan too. Nothing seems to work. Am I the only one
hitting this?

It may be that there are good reasons to hate Bandtel - I take no
position on that at this time - but this is probably not one of them.
Using a fully qualified E.164 number is probably the least ambiguous
way
to do PSTN addressing between administrative entities.

Having the '+' not display correctly in a CDR is a bug - please file
an
issue.
