[asterisk-users] Extension Numbering

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

I'm not too sure on that.  I don't really know, unless maybe for an IVR and
you want a menu of options (which can only be 1 digit) and also dial direct
to the extension.  That would limit you in that regard.

I have a suggestion regarding dial plan.  When I first started I saw no
reason to have to dial 9 first for outside calls.  Because I wanted to be
able to dial out from the missed calls list, I chose to eliminate the dial 9
requirement.  I'm now regretting it, primarily because 711 is a valid
number, but also a parking spot.  I can handle 911, and I can handle 411,
but 711 is going to be a pain.

Just wanted to give you something to consider when you are starting out.
Something I didn't consider.
