<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Pat,<BR>
<BR>
In the Cisco Unity Deployment and Solutions Guide, page 424: "As like a subscriber's primary extension, all alternate extensions are replicated throughout the entire Digital Network".<BR>
<BR>
I tested it out on my site and an alternate extension I created on one server replicated to another server as well. So, I don't think alternate extensions are only locally significant.<BR>
<BR>
Am I missing something?<BR>

Alternate extensions are only locally significant, they aren't<BR>
replicated out through digital networking. So, you'd be fine if<BR>
everything was on a single Unity server, but otherwise, it won't work.<BR>
<BR>
Switching everyone (in Unity) to 10 digit extensions will definitely<BR>
help. You shouldn't/can't have overlapping extensions in the same<BR>
dialing domain.<BR>
<BR>
Another possible option is using the location prefix, but making it<BR>
whatever the site code or area code is, and having the users use those<BR>
numbers instead. It really accomplishes the same thing as switching to<BR>
10 digit and using the voicemail profile masks, just a different way to<BR>
get there, so, either way :-)<BR>
