I am trying to find a way to redirect all 6 digits numbers starting with 118xxx to an 0800 number
118 is directory enquiries in the UK and are only 6 digits long.
I can’t see how to wildcard this anywhere in the GUI, I thought perhaps a misc destination or misc application but it looks like I would have to put in every conceivable number in here individually. I would like to do this through the GUI rather than in any conf file.
I’m not sure that this will work on your older system (tested with FreePBX 14 / Asterisk 14), but I simply set up an Outbound Route with
prepend: 08001234567
prefix: 118XXX
match pattern: (empty)
pointed to the normal outgoing trunk and it worked with no issue.
