Hello,
I'm trying to match a number in international format, like +49XXXX...
The regexp string "^\+49" doesn't work. Both in $["+49..." : "^\+49"]
and ${REGEX("^\+49" ${NUMBER})}.
The error is: WARNING[12486]: func_strings.c:138 regex: Malformed input
REGEX(): Invalid preceding regular expression.
The regexp expression "^49\+" works. Does Asterisk have problems
matching the plus at the beginning of the string, or am I escaping
something incorrectly?

That's because you don't dial a + you dial 011 here in America, the +
is meta for insert you international dialing prefix here.
That doesn't much explain why the regexp doesn't work. If you're
dialing from a softphone, for instance, and dial a +, it comes through
as a +. It's up for the server to decide what to do with it. If you
can't match it and therefore convert it to the appropriate international
dialing prefix, that's a problem.
Think globally. :) Not everyone wants to require their customers to all
dial 011, or 00, or 001, or any number of alternate international prefixes.
