[asterisk-users] Polycom 501 config questions

[Jonathan k. Creasy]

Dumb question here: Why the need to dial 9 for an outside line? If your extensions are less than 7 digits long then you know anything "XXXXXXX." is an outside call....
 
Maybe this isn't true everywhere, just curious.

I was expecting a more elegant answer to the "9 to dial out" problem with
the Polycom 501. Sure I can change my dialplan, but that means I have to
adapt my dialplan to the phone, while the opposite seems like the way to go.


Thanks for the answer,

Mike

Pick up 102, then select contact

It will not.

either add to your contact entries, or alternatively have your dial 
plan add 9 to any exten longer than say 3 digits
