[cisco-voip] 310 numbers

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

It seems as though these numbers are routed based on the calling mask.

I just changed the mask to a number from a different city, called a pizza 310 number and got the store for that calling number.

Neat.

  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.
