Unexpected speed dial
VANJ:
Thanks. So this is what I understand
1. There is no way to disable the speed dial feature on the OBi entirely
2. There is no way to use a key other than # as the "end of input" key
3. I should add xx# to my digit map (wait, add this to SP1 or SP2 digit map?) to send it right away. Actually, isn't S0 in a digit map equivalent to the # key? If so, would xxS0 also do the same thing?

I would suggest using the format xx# to dial your Call With Us speed dials
But when I am dialing a regular US 10-digit number, wouldn't this map get in the way and try to send the first 2 digits right away as soon as the second digit is pressed?
jimates:
any rule changes for this situation should be to the phone port digit map, not the individual trunk digit maps (unless you are prepending **x to the call).
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)........
changing the S9 in the digit map will shorten the delay. I am not sure if you need to change one or both.

yes. Originally the Obi would deliver anything 2 digits or more after 2 seconds. Speed dials did not require terminating with #. I brought up the possibility of inadvertently sending calls to speed dials with slow dialing. Now there is a a longer delay by default.
My concern was for people trying to dial 911, or older people just dialing slow. If you dial slowly you could get connected to someone you didn't intend to wake at 3 am. I myself often dial the first 3 numbers then have to pause and look at the last 4. Weak eye sight doesn't help.
I have an Obi202 with different digit maps but I did make the changes and it changes the delay.

VANJ,
When I suggested xx# I was not suggesting putting that in a digit map. I was suggesting dialling two digits from the phone, then pressing the # key on the phone. This way the xx. rules picks up the two digits that you have dialled and sends them out on your primary line with no delay.
I really must use this English language with more precision ;)
