missed 1 digit when dialing US number 252- and I got connected to Somalia(252)!
onepolarbear:
Thanks! :)
That should put a stop to all my bad dialing to int'l calls, at least to numbers that require 011.
I looked into my billing history and discovered that I also had
several calls to area code (242) which I believe is the Bahamas.
Billed at 10 cents/minute. I must have dialed 242 instead of
252(North Carolina) as intended and hung up.
Since there are many foreign country codes within North America,
can the digimaps to be programmed to restrict calls to all of them?
These are mostly Carribean countries, plus PR and Guam. I looked
it up and there are about 25 3-digit foreign country codes in North
America:

Using this DigitMap:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|01144xx.|01149xx.)
Calls leaving your OBi going to GV will be eleven digits starting with "1" or international calls starting with 01144 or 01149.
Rather than banning certain numbers, this DigitMap only allows the above formats / numbers. The important thing is to remove rules xx.|(Mipd)|[^*#]@@. from GV DigitMaps, then nine or ten digit numbers cannot get to GV to allow them to send them around the world :)

I have already updated my digimap with the one you provided. :) Thanks!
However, if I make a mistake and dial 242-327-6000(a hotel in the Bahamas)
instead of 252-327-6000(North Carolina), the call will go to the Bahamas
and be billed at 10 cents.(assuming someone picks up before I realize the mistake)
Just tried it and that's exactly what happened. :)
Probably time for me to find a new cordless phone with bigger keypad for my giant fingers! :D

Now that you have narrowed it down considerably, block 242 numbers on the OBi.
ianobi:
You could be very restrictive on your ten digit dialling and use a DigitMap such as:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>252xxxxxxx|01144xx.|01149xx.)
This means only ten digit numbers starting with 252 would have "1" prepended, then sent to GV. Any other ten digit number would be rejected by the OBi. All other North American numbers would need to be dialled as eleven digit numbers starting with "1".
