[cisco-voip] Area Code vs NXX Conflict

[Patrick Mowry]

"We do not use 9+ or any other PBX "outside access" codes.  NANP long
distance is 1+ 10 digits, IDDD is 011+."  

  With this in mind, wouldn't it be natural for your users to dial a 1
in front of phoenix calls?  So instead of educating your users to dial
just the 10 digits for Phoenix calls, would it not be both easier and
have less support calls if you let the users dial the 1 and then throw
it away when you don't need it? Either that or require 10 digits for all
"free" calls.

You are only saving them from dialing 1 digit and I think it would be
easier to let them place calls like they would naturally dial at home.

The thing is with the first option here, is that potentially you would
have
a similiar situation with the other area codes at some point, as the
population growth forces more NXX assignments in the 520 area code.
Also,
as people wait for that interdigit timeout, they might be thinking "did
it
go through?" and that might be a bit of a challenge support wise.

Are you planning on doing the same with the 928 area code that is in the
other part of the state?
