Nitesh,
Add the following to your gnugk.ini configuration file:
[RasSrv::RewriteE164]
011=
} I just want to send a call with CountryCode+AreaCode+Number. NO 011...
This is how you should be doing it anyway. "011" is an "international
prefix" and is not part of an E.164 address. In (most) other parts of the
world the prefixed used for international dialing is "00". The complete
form of an E.164 globally unique telephony address is:
<CC><NSN>
Where:
<CC> Country Code
<NSN> National (Significant) Number
A North American number is as:
12125551234
<CC> 1
<NSN> 2125551234
This can be confusing though because within the US (and Canada ...) you
would dial:
12125551234
However in this context it is:
"national (trunk) prefix" 1
<NDC> 212
<SN> 5551234
The NSN can be broken down, within a national plan, as:
<NDC><SN>
<NDC> National Destination Code
<SN> Subscriber Number
In the UK to reach this subscriber number you would dial:
0012125551234
"internation aprefix" 00
<CC> 1
<NSN> 2125551234
This UK subscriber might have an E.164 address as:
441712221234
<CC> 44
<NSN> 1712221234
To dial him from the North America we dial:
011441712221234
"international prefix" 011
<CC> 44
<NSN> 1712221234
Within the UK, from some areas, you might dial:
01712221234
"national (trunk) prefix" 0
<NDC> 171
<SN> 2221234
To unambiguously represent E.164 numbers they should be
written as:
+12125551234
+441712221234
Alrgough you will often see things like:
+44(0)1712221234
This is wrong, but common. The national (trunk) prefix has been
written included in parenthesis. You should delete it.
So the thing is that you need to seperate out "prefixes" from the
actual address and not let them leak out into other address spaces.
To ask your UK partners to send their destination digits including
a "011" prefix would be wrong as "011" has no meaning in the UK.
On international connections everyone should use a straight E.164
<CC><NSN> format. When interconnecting with the US it would also
be a good idea however you could drop the country code / national
(trunk) prefix (1).
