[cisco-voip] Dial plans

[Fuermann, Jason]

I don't like the 7 digit dialing, multiple area codes end up having the same exchanges, then you're done for. Looks like 10 digit might be your best bet, due to your limitations

Totally agree. We had our Cisco CCIE VoIP verify our dial plan before we deployed it. I do agree with Walt that 7-digit dialing is a good thing. It is scalable. Do use translation pattern for your 5-digit dialing.
