<DIV>I would tread lightly there. You can not be guarenteed that those area
codes won't be assigned. There's a column in the database that stipulates
weather a code is 'assignable' - even though some of them say No, that doesn't
mean they aren't going to be used for system use of sometype.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What exactly are you trying to do? How many numbers do you need? There are
numbers in the 555 exchange that are reserved for ficticious use, so perhaps
your area code + 555 + fictious subscriber number would do?</DIV>

Codes</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I am working on an install where 10 digit dialing is being

phones. I want to<BR>obviously be careful to not choose an area code

numbers like 666, 555, 777, etc<BR>are not in use and are classified as
"easily distinguisable". Anway, just<BR>curious if anyone sees an issue
with me using area code 777 for my
non-did<BR>phones.<BR><BR>TIA,<BR><BR>Andy<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>cisco-voip
