Sorry to revive this super old topic, but I too am running into a problem now. We have a friend in Florida whose number starts with 863, but we can't get through to him.
Our current LINE DigitMap says:
([2-9]11S0|<250>[2-9]xxxxxx|250xxxxxxx|<1:>250xxxxxxx|1800xxxxxxx|188xxxxxxxx|1877xxxxxxx|1866xxxxxxx|1855xxxxxxx|
1844xxxxxxx|1833xxxxxxx|1822xxxxxxx|<**1>1[2-79]xxxxxxxxx|<**1>011xx.)
I'm thinking the error is in the <**1>1[2-79]xxxxxxxxx bit, but unclear how to change it.
What we're after is that all numbers starting with 1-xxx including 1-8xx (EXCEPT the toll free numbers starting with 800, 88x, 877, 866, 855, 844, 833 and 822) are routed through Google Voice. The exceptions should go through the landline. Is it possible to set it up that way? :)
I puzzled that you say the digit map you show is your LINE Port Digit Map. Are you sure it isn't the PHONE port digit map?
Try adding |<**1>1863xxxxxxx| into the map. It can go anywhere but perhaps the "nicest" place would be just after the bit you think the error is in.
Sophia:
I'm only following instructions :D I am quite happy to put it anywhere but initially I was told to put it in the LINE digit map... and it seems to work :)
Somebody just kindly sent me a PM with this information:
([2-9]11S0|<1250>[2-9]xxxxxx|<1>250xxxxxxx|1250xxxxxxx|(18(00|88|77|66|55|44|33|22)xxxxxxx|<1>8(00|88|77|66|55|44|33|22)xxxxxxx)|<**1>(1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.))
It looks really nice to me so I guess I'll try that ;D Will keep you posted!
Sophia:
Unfortunately that code doesn't seem to work at all ???
But I changed it into
([2-9]11S0|<250>[2-9]xxxxxx|250xxxxxxx|<1:>250xxxxxxx|1800xxxxxxx|188xxxxxxxx|1877xxxxxxx|
1866xxxxxxx|1855xxxxxxx|1844xxxxxxx|1833xxxxxxx|1822xxxxxxx|<**1>1xxxxxxxxxx|<**1>011xx.)
Which is probably not as clean but it seems to work ;D
ProfTech:
Hi Sophia, good to see you're using the Obi again. I don't know how many 800 numbers there are for your location, but a trick that RonR posted way back when is great for them. Create a "User Defined map" that looks something like this (18(00|55|66|77|88)xxxxxxx) and name it TFree. Then any place you need to specify 800 numbers simply use (MTfree). Be sure and include the M and the parenthesis. If your 800 numbers are different, simply change the User defined map. Works like a charm and greatly simplifies things if 8xx numbers would happen to change. You only need to change one place!
Sophia:
Hi ProfTech, thanks ;D I couldn't stay away anyway, I like Obi too much :D
I got the list of 800 numbers from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-free_telephone_number#North_America "Toll-free numbers in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) are commonly called "800 numbers" after the original area code which was used to dial them. They include the area code 800 since 1967, 888 (since 1996), 877 (since 1998), 866 (since 2000), 855 (since 2010), and 844 (December 7, 2013).[18] Area codes reserved for future expansion include 833, 822, 880 through 887, and 889.[19]"
I thought I might as well include them all now :D
Got another PM from the anonymous benefactor that the code they provided
([2-9]11S0|<1250>[2-9]xxxxxx|<1>250xxxxxxx|1250xxxxxxx|(18(00|88|77|66|55|44|33|22)xxxxxxx|<1>8(00|88|77|66|55|44|33|22)xxxxxxx)|<**1>(1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.))
should work (I probably copied it wrong) so I'll be giving that a second try :)
Edit: while I'm typing this, I actually think I know what might be wrong with that code... this is what the explanation was:
Quote
x11 -> LINE Port
7-digits -> LINE Port (with 1250 prepended)
250xxxxxxx -> LINE Port (with 1 prepended)
1250xxxxxxx -> LINE Port
Toll Free -> LINE Port (with 1 prepended if not present)
All other 1xxxxxxxxxx -> SP1
011+ (international) -> SP1
But the 7 digits should actually not add 1250, just 250.
Likewise, 250xxxxxx should not prepend a 1
and 1250 should be treated like all other numbers, meaning using SP1.
So I think this is what it should read:
Quote
x11 -> LINE Port
7-digits -> LINE Port (with 250 prepended)
250xxxxxxx -> LINE Port (with 1 prepended)
1250xxxxxxx -> LINE Port
Toll Free -> LINE Port (with 1 prepended if not present)
All other 1xxxxxxxxxx -> SP1
011+ (international) -> SP1
Another edit, I got a reply back already!!!

In that case:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:
([2-9]11S0|<250>[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|18(00|88|77|66|55|44|33|22)xxxxxxx|<1>8(00|88|77|66|55|44|33|22)xxxxxxx|<**1>(1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.))
x11 -> LINE Port
7-digits -> LINE Port (with 250 prepended)
10-digits -> LINE Port
Toll Free -> LINE Port (with 1 prepended if not present)
All other 1xxxxxxxxxx -> SP1
011+ (international) -> SP1
