[asterisk-users] Is there a smarter way to ban expensive calls in dial plan?

[Chris Blunt]

Hi List,   I need a bit of advice please.  I want to ban calls to expensive destinations such as cell phones.   This is fairly simple here in the UK because all cell phone numbers begin with a 7 where as all geographic numbers begin 1 and 2   Elsewhere this is different, take Andorra for example all numbers begin 376, cell phone numbers are 3763, 3764 and 3765   So if I try the following dial plan my pattern always matches the first wild card   Exten => _00376.,1,Dial(my iax terminiator) Exten => _003763.,1,Congestion Exten => _003764.,1,Congestion Exten => _003765.,1,Congestion   I seem to have been able to fix this with adding an x after the 6 in the first extension to make the patterns all the same length and thus making a better match with the blocked numbers.   Example:   Exten => _00376x.,1,Dial(my iax terminiator) Exten => _003763.,1,Congestion Exten => _003764.,1,Congestion Exten => _003765.,1,Congestion     This is just so long winded, and you can imagine doing this for a huge list of destinations.   If any one can suggest an improved or more efficient way of doing this, I would be greatly appreciated!   Best regards   Chris   --   Chris Blunt Entropy IT Ltd
