This is going to sound unnecessary, but A-D are cool to use as prefixes for your backend lines (CTI ports to IPCC, CTI Route Points, etc..) basically anything you don't want phones to dial, and you don't want telco to accidentally assign to you (when you run out of DIDs) and step on some large chunk of your dial-plan.
<br><br>So, you make your Voicemail hunt lines, A400-A431 and that way no one can call them directly, but they can still be used by your vmail hunt pilot...<br><br>BTW, just so you know, if you need people to call one of them, just use a real number on a translation pattern to the one with the DTMF tones (actually, you are probably better off making it a CTI Route Point with a CFA to the non-number number...)
