Dial plans determine how the digits are interpreted and transmitted. They also determine
whether the dialed number is accepted or rejected. You can use a dial plan to facilitate dialing
or to block certain types of calls such as long distance or international.

Digit Sequences
A dial plan contains a series of digit sequences, separated by the | character. The entire
collection of sequences is enclosed within parentheses. Each digit sequence within the dial
plan consists of a series of elements, which are individually matched to the keys that the user
presses.
White space is ignored, but may be used for readability.
