Prepend Issues

Hello,
I am having the hardest time getting the PBX to prepend the digit 1 before calls. So far I have tried to add it in the trunks setting. I have added it to extensions.conf as _X.,1,Dial(1${EXTEN}) and exten => _X.,1,Dial(1${EXTEN}) . Still with no luck, can anyone tell me what am doing wrong ?
Thanks,
Brandon

I have added it to the outbound routes with no issue. I have not tried it on the trunks or by altering the .conf files.

Thanks,

your dial command is improperly formatted, you did not specify the channel type or resource.

Erik,

Would this be the correct syntax?

exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/1/${EXTEN})

I tried this, but it is still not prepending 1, I feel like am missing something really simple.

[from-1]

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,1,noop(${EXTEN})

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,n,set(EXTEN="1"${EXTEN})

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,n,goto(from-internal,${exten},1)

include => from-internal

Ok i got it so now it prepends 1 as well as the area code i did this:

exten => _XXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/Provider/1303${EXTEN})

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/Provider/1${EXTEN})

Were provider equals my sip trunk provider as it reads in the asterisk CLI shell. So it now pre-pends 1303 to any 7 digit number and 1 to any 10 digit number as marked by the X's.

Thanks for the help,

Brandon
