I modified the default to the following for faster local dialing for North American area codes:

(*xx|[3469]11|0|00 [2-9]xxxxxxS0|[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)

This is what I added to the above: "[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0" so any 9 digit number is dialed instantly xxx-xxx-xxxx (the S0 at the end makes it dial right away).  This makes dialing much quicker and is recommended.


*Note the [2-9] is necessary otherwise the x matches a 1 so if you dial long distance or a toll-free number it dials the first 10 digits of it and cuts off the last one.

I finally fixed this after years of slow dialing.  It is also important to note that almost all dialing delay problems are caused by your phone adapter (ATA/VOIP) dial plan and not the server side.  It is also shocking that many companies do not supply their ATAs with proper, fast dial plans at least for local dialing.

Note that this dialplan works on most other VOIP ATAs and phones that use a standard dial plan such as Grandstream, Polycom etc...
