Adding a * in dial rules

Hi all,

My ITSP ( freshtel.net.au ) expects all calls to begin with a *
So I need to add something like *+[68]XXXXXXX to my outgoing dial rules for this trunk.
FreePBX 2.2.2 says I can’t use a * before a + or |
How can I get FreePBX to add a * to all my calls that go out a particular trunk ?

TIA
Mick

there are currently some limitations to the dial rules, however, if you always need “*+” prepended to you number on that trunk, you should be able to do that with the Outbound Dial Prefix.
