However, if I make a mistake and dial 242-327-6000(a hotel in the Bahamas)
Now that you have narrowed it down considerably, block 242 numbers on the OBi.
If onepolarbear has set up the digit map to the recommended
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|01144xx.|01149xx.)
why dialing 242-327-6000 would call the hotel in the Bahamas ?
Dialing 242-327-6000 would make OBi to dial +12423276000 and not +2423276000
So, with this digit map the OBi should not call the Bahamas.
or am I wrong?
I also thought the same at first. Actually "242" is an area code in the "1" North America prefix (or country code). If you can trust wikipedia there is an explanation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_242. The 26 three-digit numbers in the list onepolar bear posted are apparently all area codes in the "1" prefix. Since none of the area codes are in the continental U.S. or Canada, then they are probably treated as toll calls (long distance) when dialed in Google Voice.
This is what led my to the VGx solution to block these area codes by routing them to an unconfigured VGx. While I'm posting again, the DigitMap I gave ended in "xx.". The "xx." means one or more digits after the 3 digit area code in the list. I tried dialing 1242 and received a busy signal and not the Google voice message indicating I needed funds in my account to place the call. The OBi call log shows call connected (about 1 sec). I don't know if this would have resulted in a toll charge if I had funds available. It might be safer to end the DigitMap with "x." (none or more digits) instead of "xx." (the whole DigitMap enclosed in parenthesis of course) but I have not tried it.

A very pedantic person might use "1?" to mean 0 or one "1".
I had to look up "pendantic". Now I have to use it in a sentence. He's not pendantic, he's just British.
I agree, "1?" is probably more clear and accurate than "1." Forgive me, I'm an American.
Whether you are indeed British or not, play along to make this joke work. LOL
You're probably the kid in class that always wrecked "the curve". ;D
ianobi:
No need to play along - you are correct, I am indeed British, living in England. Here we know how to speak this language like wot it should be spoke wiv dead good grammar and stuff :D
Tomorrow I shall be mostly watching cricket and drinking tea :)

I did not understand this reference. Is it an Americanism of some sort?
QBZappy:
And now for something completely different:
"Hello.... Hello.... [tap tap] is this thing on? Hello??"
A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Minister walk into bar. The bartender looks up and asks "What is this, some kind of joke?"
Cheers.
lhm.:
@ianobi
It was a compliment of a sort.
