When I set up my Asterisk box at home I didn't want to have to dial 9<br>
to dial off premises, so I gave all my local phones three digit<br>
extensions with this format: 1[1,0]*. My thought is that there are no<br>
area codes that start with 0 or 1, so if I use those numbers, I can<br>
create 20 local extensions that can be dialed with 3 digits, and not<br>
have to use a timeout when dialing long distance. If I dial 1, then<br>
anything other than 0 or 1, Asterisk knows I am dialing long distance.<br>
If I start with any number other than 1, Asterisk knows I am dialing<br>
a local or local toll call.<br>
<br>
This has worked fine for me (as far as I know). Is there some flaw I<br>
am not seeing? I see a lot of small businesses that require a 9 to<br>
dial out, even though they don't have very many extensions. Couldn't<br>
they do what I did and not have to dial 9?<br>
<br>
I ask because we are having a problem where I work with our Cisco 7940<br>
phones adding an extra 1 sometimes, which gets the local Sheriff upset<br>
(too many 911 calls).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
