[Freeswitch-users] Dial multiple users for "conference" call

[Michael Nielsen]

I can tell from the cli that the country_code variable is empty:

Dialplan: loopback/293234-b Action set(dialed_number=${country_code} 293234)
INLINE

EXECUTE loopback/293234-b set(dialed_number= 293234)


So my subscriber variables doesn't get used when using mod_conference...
