[asterisk-users] Realtime Extensions -- Comments?

[Matthew Crocker]

Create a context 'suspended' that can *only* dial 911 then move  
extensions into that context.

Even if the customer doesn't pay their bill you *still* want them to  
be able to dial 911,  and probably your customer service number.  You  
could even create a dialplan in the context to send all other calls  
to a announcement (please pay your bill and your calls will go through).
