Have you never run into a situation where you dial +15705551212 for a number, but also have an extention of 157 or something? The 9 is legacy, yes, but still important, in my opinion, to segregate the networks. You know that anything starting with a 9 is going to go outbound, and all of your extentions are then 1xx-8xx. 9anything is reserved for going to the PSTN. Otherwise, you are either going to have to have your callers dial 1areacode for everything (and then have your extentions 2xx-9xx), that is they can't just dial 5551212, which is a pain, or you are going to have overlap.

<br>I prefer to do like any standard residential subscriber, not to force<br>somebody to think : "Oh no ! I have forgottent to input the 9 - or 0 -<br>before to dial out !".<br>Directly inputing the real number is more natural.

<br><br>Is there a way to make it so you do not have to dial 9 by default to dial a<br>outside number? I would like it if we could just dial the number any<br>pointers?<br><br>_______________________________________________
