Replace any <prefix> with <something>

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the feature you'd like to have
Please consider to allow to replace any <prefix> with <something>
Our local telephony wants 9 to be prefixed to call outside.
And my phonebook has them in full MSISDN format 
+<country><town><phone>

Here it is not enough to replace +, what we have now.
Here we need to strip down +<country> as well.

I could configure dear Telephone to replace
+7 with
9
and reach happiness <to some extent> ;)

I came to this workaround for now:
"+"  -> "9810"

9 = go outside of office
8 = go outside of town
10 = go outside of country

then country and the rest from Address book goes and call gets routed OK.

This seems somewhat awkward, but works.

So this issue becomes of a less prio to me.

What I'm afraid here is to re-implement the dialing plan, which is already 
implemented in any SIP PBX. This can 
make application pretty much complicated. It takes several minutes to modify 
PBX's dialing plan to make all its 
clients happy dialing numbers in the international format. If you're using 
Asterisk, I can help you to modify its 
dialplan to route such calls appropriately.

After I've created my bunch of issues, I've discussed this with a competent 
person,
who has told me the same story ;)

We do use Asterisk and I feel I'll be able to persuade my dear admins to do 
that for me.

I feel they would manage.
This issue becomes even lesser prio to me.
Suggest to close it ;)
