Digit Map Help needed.
GregoryZ:
Where are our current Digit Map Experts (azrobert, ionobi, jimates, PC44, QBZappy, etc.)? ;D
I would like your help on two things, please. I hope you don't consider me lazy. I just can't seem to grasp the digit maps. :)
I'm setting up a new OBi110 for the office where I work. I'm convinced it will save them a lot of money in Long Distance fees. There is no need for International Calling.
Question #1:
With SP1 setup with GV, I would like all calls to go out using SP1, with the exeption of 911 and One other local number. The one Local Number and 911 will need to go out on the Line Port; (li).
I've tried to explain to the folks there, that they can press "*" and then the one local number needed, but they think it is too complex for them. :-\ What is the digit map for routing 911 and this one local number to the Line Port?
Question #2 came up after I was searching for an answer to question #1. This may get interesting (or not) :)
I came accross this older post. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=3106.msg20737#msg20737
I'm wondering if I am understanding this correctly.

my local calling area now has 2 different area codes but they are both local calls, so how would I account for that? The area codes are: 403 and 587.
(<aaa>[2-9]xxxxxx|403xxxxxxx|587xxxxxxx|<**1>1xxxxxxxxxx|<**1>011xx.)
where aaa is the area code (403 or 587) you wish to be assumed when 7-digit numbers are dialed.
Would this allow me to dial 7 digits (Via SP1/GV) and the call go to the correct area code? I didn't think that this was possible.
I'm outsidde of Portland, Oregon, and although I'm in area code 503, some calls are considered Long Distance even if they are a 503 area code. And the same holds true for a second area code in this area. Wierd, but true.
Our problem has always been while calling from the POTS line. We don't always know if a call going to a 503 area code is Long Distance or not, until we actually call it. So, we dial the 1+ area code (or not) when making a call. Then we wait for a recorded msg. saying either a 1 must be used to make the call, or we don't need to dial a 1. So, we then have to hang up and call again, with or without the 1. What a pain in the rear!
I've got the OBi110 setup for 7 digit dialing within the 503 area code. But it sure would be nice if I could dial 7 digits and let the device figure out the Area Codes in my situation.
Anyway... Will the digit map that RonR gave, allow me to 7 digit dial within the area codes that I specify to replace the 403 & 587 in his example?

That digit map still only allows 7 digit dialing to one of the two area codes.
You choose which of the two area codes you want to use for 7 digit dialing. You can use 7 or 10 digit dialing to that area code, and you would still use 10 digit dialing to the other one.
The Obi can't figure out which requires a certain dialing sequence without giving it all the info it would need. That would mean telling the Obi one or the other of the two criteria, which ever is less info (which require 7 digits or which require 11 digits.
Then one would be default and the other would be changed by the Obi.
You would need to tell it every exchange that required the extra digits and then it would know when to add it.
jimates:
The default for 911 is the line port. Unless you change it or select a different service for 911 when setting up the service. Since you only added GV, and that option is not available when setting it up, the default should still be the line.
You can check the phone port outbound call route to make sure
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa}..............
GregoryZ:
Thanks Jimates!
I figured it was too far fetched of an idea. :) :)
I also figured that 911 was already set for LI. I was pretty sure anyway. I've seen plenty of posts about it.
So..... Where in the route do I add the one: (503)-678-#### number, so it goes to LI not SP1? (For that matter any number within the (503)-678-#### would be accpetable since it isn't a long distance number.)

Lets just say when it comes to telephony, things can get complicated. ;)
