i want to have overlap dialing in asterisk. it works fine if i don't have
"!" in my pattern. for example pattern "07." works fine and i can call
07122 by overlap dialing via it. but if i define "07!" i can't call 07122
because it doesn't wait to collect all digits and therefore call 07. if i
define "07.!" it works fine again and wait to collect all digits and hence
07122 rings.
what is wrong with my patterns? how should i use "!" in my pattern in order
to have overlap dialing?

A "!" instructs Asterisk to match *0 or more* characters [1]. Since
you have already provided all the digits to match that pattern,
Asterisk correctly detects that it has matched the extension and
begins execution.
If you want to tell dialplan execution to wait for more digits, you
can use the Incomplete dialplan application [2]. It exists
specifically for this purpose.
