[cisco-voip] pound character in DNs

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

i too use the * for special dialing, but i prefix it with special codes to allow for it's use elsewhere. 

for example, *9 for long distance dialing with FACs, *77XXXXX for sending calls directly to voicemail. 

the * and # is also used to program special features in the VG224 and VG248 analog gateways.

I use * in many places. 

*XXXX CTI Route point for a transfer-to-voicemail device. the * is available to all phones. Been doing that for many years on many, many independent installs. No problems.

Hello eveyone 


Quick question: Any drawbacks to using the pound character in DNs (e,g, *1000)? It will be only for unlogged phones so impact should be minimum. 


Any technical limitations, drawbacks, field-experience ? 


Thanks, 
Ovidiu
