Hi all

Scenario:
Our client has several trunks ( 3 companies ) on the system. Each company has a separate number and needs to call back with this number. There are 6 dect phone that all ring for every number.
In the outgoing rules, I work with a prefix to know that line needs to be taken for the call: "1*" identifies line 1 to call back. So the user needs to dial "1*0123 25 5450". That works fine.
Unfortunatly, the prefix needs to be entered manually.

Question:
Is there a way to add this prefix automaticly? So the idea would be to add "1*" to the number that is displayed on the dect phones => "1*0123 25 5450" insted of "0123 25 5450".

.To call back, the users just have to dial this number and system would take automaticly line 1 and dial the number "0123 25 5450"

Would a Source Pattern do something like that?

Thanks for info.
 
You could reformat the incoming caller ID, changing the required prefix, so that the number could be called back "as is". Outbound rules would then change the number back into a format used by your provider.
