Asterisk dropping my 8 to get out, where to set out dial rules?

I Have an Asterisk Server that is connecting to a Siemens Hipath switch via IP. Then calls are routed out the Hipath. A leading 8 is required to place external calls, however it appears when I call out through my SIP phone, the 8 is dropped. I have confirmed this by using 8 twice, then the calls are processed properly.

Can anyone tell me how I can set the out dial rules to add another 8 or where to look if it could be stripping my "8"?

Thanks!

Do you have a rule something like this:
Code:
exten => _8.,n,Dial(SIP/+${EXTEN:1}@sipcarrier)
in your dial plan?

If I recall correctly, you would change it to:
Code:
exten => _8.,n,Dial(SIP/+${EXTEN}@sipcarrier)
essentially telling Asterisk not to drop the 8 on the outbound call leg.
