What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable Android Dialer integration
2. Attempt to call a contact with an "incorrectly" (see below) formatted number via SIP

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The PBX dialing sequence fails because the number isn't properly formatted in order to complete the call.

Some PBX's require leading digits or codes to be added to a number prior to dialing out (i.e. 9...).  These aren't required for regular calls (normally, at least) and as such the numbers stored in the contact list don't contain them.

Thus, when attempting to call via SIP, there should be a way to tell CSipSimple to transform the number and bring it to the correct format for calling via the PBX, possibly specified by regular expression transformation.

Also, some local numbers are stored without any area codes or whatnot.  Such a mechanism could be used to add that information when missing - which would likely also be required by the PBX in order to successfully complete the call.

Ideally, one would be able to specify multiple regular expression transformations which would each be applied in order, succeeding or failing based on whether the number matches each pattern.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.00-11, on a Nexus One (AT&T), Android 2.1-update1 (Eclair)
