Obi202 redirect 911 to 10-digit emergency number, won't work with **1, **2, **3
Lavarock7:
I bothers me very much to see people hacking away at call routes and so on, just to get 911 or other emergency calls to work.
I have just submitted a feature request that I think would address this is a simple way. That request boils down to an addition of a table similar to the one for the 202 that the user could configure in a simple way.
Essentually, if I Dial 911 from Phone1 the call should be routed to SPx and sent as 911.
If I dial 911 from Phone2 the call should be sent out SPx and dialed as 1234-555-0911.
If the user enters a valid TO number and the SP is working, there is no question where the call is routed or what is sent. No substitutions/modifications are allowed if the number is in this table and it is obvious what the resulting number will be.
yes, if the Obi table allowed the dial number to be entered (ie 411 instead of 911) it would also make it easier to redirect certain numbers without the owner changing routing tables which can complicate or foul up reliability.

I don't see this to match many people's needs. Doing something different when I dial 911 based on which phone I pick up seems odd. I understand that you have a reason, but your situation is unusual. Is yours a hospice situation?
Also, I would not think OBi would not be involved in encouraging average users to call something other than a certified 911 service when 911 is dialed.

and sends the remainder (911) to the SP2 trunk; (where it is then processed using the local digit map for the ITSP profile that is designated for SP2) and the designated alternate number is dialed using SP2.

I used different numbers just for demonstration. The same process could be used for 411, etc.
My idea is that people should not have to hack away at dial strings and routing and then have to hope they got it right. A simple straightforward way to force 7 10 or other number seems reasonable. It also is pretty obvious from my suggestion what number would eventually be dial (without any modification) by the Obi.
