Right,here goes:

. represents any one digit (so, 555... means 555 followed by any three
digits(they've got got be contiguous, so .55 & 5.5 are not valid).
This is useful in the destiantion pattern in various cases, for example if
you want to send any calls with the pattern 555.... to a PBX (which is
hanging off the port to which to dest. pattern is applied).
They could also be used with 'num-exp' (number expansion),so:
'num-exp 999... 5555' means that if a user dials 999 followed by any three
digits, the number would be translated to 5555 and treated accordingly.

+ just means that this number is E.164 compliant:

'1. ITU-T recommendation for international telecommunication numbering,
especially in ISDN, BISDN, and SMDS. An evolution of standard telephone
numbers.' to quote Cisco.

So, "aha" or not "aha" ?

Hope that helps,

Mark

P.S. Or perhaps a cold shower would help !
