Washington, DC | [SunRocket] 7 Digit Dialing
Has anyone else noticed that over the last few days, 7 digit dialing is working for when dialing within your local area code? This must be something new they have been working on and finally got running. |

Niagara Falls, NY | It does not work, and never did in my area, this was reported several times before. It seems to only work in certain areas. |

The problem is that you will not be able to make calls in your area code using 11 digits. Also for those that set up 7/11 digit dialing (because that is what is normal in some areas) you have to add a rule to your dialing plan:
|r(1B,xxxxxxx)B|
So it would like like this:
(>#|p([2-9]xxxxxx)1A|r(1B,xxxxxxx)B|1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|x.T|*x.T|)
Where:
A = the area code that you want 7 digit dialling to work.
B = the area code of your SR #.
If the area code is the same area code that you require 7 digit dialing in then you would remove the first 1. It would look like this:
(>#|p([2-9]xxxxxx)A|r(1B,xxxxxxx)B|1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|x.T|*x.T|)

The 7 digit dialing seems to be working for me in my local area. I'm pretty happy with this, being that it's a definite upgrade to what I've had before. |

Heh,
I live in the DC area. A couple of years ago I lived in the Boston area. Both regions require 10 digits cause area codes overlap geographic boundaries.
Seven digit dialing? What on earth is that? /grin
I would start to worry if seven digit dialing started to work in my area! |

Actually it works with 11, not 10 which is why I don't use it, because you can't just dial from callerid with that string. |

| if the caller ID is displayed on the handset, many of the electronic phones will allow you to add the "1" before outpulsing the number. My old Panasonic cordless has an "edit" button which adds the "1"; press it again and it removes the area code leaving only the 7 digit number. My Uniden phone allows me to simply press 1 when the 10-digit number is in the display and the 1 is added.
You might have similar capabilities with your phones. |

Niagara Falls, NY | yes, I know about this. But that does not pass the wife test. So I'll stick to the 10, and 11 digit default dial plan for now. |

Longmont, CO | off topic re: the wife test. turn your PC sound on and surf over to www.thejetsons.com and watch the introduction. pay close attention to the image when the lyrics say "Jane his wife." |
