I am trying to set up a international route to the UK and Europe using a calling card. What i want is on the user side, they dial a a route password to make the international call, like user dials "12345" then dials the international number. in the background, after they dial 12345, the system dials the calling card number and/or password and connects to the number dialed.
This seems possible, but i'm unsure of the dial plan i would need to make for this to work. or really if it is possible.
I want to have a $30 calling card for use, so if something ever gets hacked or callers go crazy calling the UK, there will be an automatic limit.
Any detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated.

I think there is a solution in resources

Later... There is here - much the same as lgaetz suggests:)....

If the only reason for a calling card is to restrict max spend an alternative would be to set up a another "outgoing account" without auto topup. access can then be controlled in the normal way via dialplans and pinsets

Thanks, I ended up just creating a seperate account with a new SIP provider for international calling only. Then routing international numbers through them with a PW setup in PIAF. Works great. Thanks for all your help.
