Cannot dial *67

[wjohnson133]

Hello all,

Whenever I try to autodial numbers and prefix them with *67 it automatically filters out the * before dialling. Is there any way to work around this?

hi,

please explain little more about your scenario, About the campaign you are using, dialplan or cli log.
may be your campaign setting our dialplan filtering your * .

My dialplan was:

exten => _7057181935*67.,1,Set(CALLERID(num-pres)=prohib)
exten => _7057181935*67.,2,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _7057181935*67.,3,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:10}@MyOwnTelco,,tTo)
exten => _7057181935*67.,4,Hangup

With nothing in the campaign that I could see that would filter out the *.

My suspicion is that the vicidial code is using a regex replacement to take out all non-alphanumeric characters because the dialler is dialling the 705718193567 + phone number without the *.

There are a lot of filters in VICIdial for input validation, and there is probably one that only allows digits in the phone number field. What country are you calling that allows non-digits in the general phone number field?

I think you are right with your guess of regex filtering. But there should be a way to bypass this with an adjustment to your dialplan, even though I don't believe that your carrier will take that into account. Please try this for line 3:

exten => _7057181935*67.,3,Dial(SIP/*67${EXTEN:13}@MyOwnTelco,,tTo)

The *67 is to make it unknown name and number as my VOIP provider doesn't support that function from asterisk.

I was looking in the code and I found this in AST_timeonVDAD.php

while ($i < $talking_to_print)
{
$phone[$i]=' ';
if (eregi("R/",$Sextension[$i]))
{
$protocol = 'EXTERNAL';
$dialplan = eregi_replace('R/',"",$Sextension[$i]);
$dialplan = eregi_replace("\@.*",'',$dialplan);
$exten = "dialplan_number='$dialplan'";
}
if (eregi("Local/",$Sextension[$i]))
{
$protocol = 'EXTERNAL';
$dialplan = eregi_replace('Local/',"",$Sextension[$i]);
$dialplan = eregi_replace("\@.*",'',$dialplan);
$exten = "dialplan_number='$dialplan'";
}
if (eregi('SIP/',$Sextension[$i]))
{
$protocol = 'SIP';
$dialplan = eregi_replace('SIP/',"",$Sextension[$i]);
$dialplan = eregi_replace("-.*",'',$dialplan);
$exten = "extension='$dialplan'";
}

Yes there are many regex filters, but in this case this file is only a real-time stats report for the VICIDIAL Auto-Dialer. It doesn't affect your issue. Did you try my suggestion?

It did not change anything unfortunately. Do you know which script does the calling?

[blackbird2306]

Please provide us asterisk cli output from one call. I made a test by myself and the * will not be filtered from vicidial but my carrier behaves as it's not there. Where did you get the information that your carrier cares of "*67". What sort of carrier is in use?

[mflorell]

There are several places where non-digit characters are filtered out of the phone number field.

Any reason you can't include the "*67" as part of the dialplan instead?

Could you give me an example? I did try adding it according to a suggestion in an earlier reply but it did not work.

Edit: Nevermind I used the previously example modified as such and it worked:

exten => _7057181935.,1,Set(CALLERID(all)="" <>)
exten => _7057181935.,2,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _7057181935.,3,Dial(SIP/*67${EXTEN:10}@MyOwnTelco,,tTo)
exten => _7057181935.,4,Hangup

I changed the above to exten => _7057181935.,3,Dial(SIP/*67${EXTEN:13}@MyOwnTelco,,tTo) and it worked, thank you very much!
