[cisco-voip] 310 numbers

[Ryan LaTorre (rylatorr)]

I like to think of 310 numbers the same way an Anycast IP address would
work.  Depending on where you call 310-xxxx from, it it supposed to be
routed locally.  Taxi services are probably one of the better use-cases
since the service they provide is much more localized.  Another feature
of 310 dialing is that long distance charges do not apply - it's always
a local call (kind of a variant of toll-free?).  
 
In multi-site systems like the one you describe I simply wouldn't route
310-xxxx calls through the remote gateway.  I'm not aware of any way to
manually route a call back to the appropriate destination from a remote
city. I think the call routing for 310 numbers is mapped locally.

ok - another open ended question....
 
what's the deal with 310-XXXX numbers?
 
these 7 digit numbers are still dialable in mandatory 10 digit dialling
areas.
 
are they magically routed to the appropriate area based on area code?
 
we're looking at doing some local calling failover over the WAN, and it
complicates things such that I have to now add the area code for these
to work properly.
 
i'm thinking i'll just drop these calls if all local trunks are busy or
unavailable. 
 
i've only seen it apply to a pizza shop here so i'm not too concerned.
