Dialplan Expression: Remove + sign and add a prefix

[ndakena]

Hello Team
I am using the provider Voxbeam for my outbound calls. They require me to add a prefix 'xxxxx' for all outgoing calls. The problem is that when I dial numbers with a plus + sign, it doesn't go through, but it works fine when I exclude the + sign.

Is there a way to cost fusionpbx to remove the + sign before adding the prefix 'xxxxx'?

Thanks and kind regards

The Dialplan Expression is a regular expression (Regex). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). You need to modify your Dialplan Expression so it will accept a plus sign if it is present. The plus sign has special meaning in Regex so it need to be escaped with a backslash. Also you need to make it optional using the ? sign.

You probably need something like this : ^(\+?\d{12,20})

Hello @Adrian Fretwell

Thanks for your answer. It was more like a tip that actually help. I modified it to ^\+?(\d{12,20}) and it's working correctly

Thanks again
