5 digit dialing would mean you could have up to 89999 extensions. However, you

<p class=MsoNormal>I think you've stumbled upon a cost savings measure that is
OK in the education space but wouldn't fly under any circumstances in the
corporate world - I can't think of any of my customers with enough DID's to
make an impact on the budget that would actually consider giving them up ;)<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>As far as scalable dial plans, I'm a big fan of either
10-digit (NANP only) or country code + DID (E164 without the +) assigned as
phone DN's - guaranteed global uniqueness which assists for shared services
such as voicemail. For sites without DID's, typically a shortened
internal only number is used and a list is maintained for within the
organization. Site-to-site dialing with a single site or campus can be
shortened using translation patterns to allow for 4/5/6/x digit dialing.
If you intend to route enterprise calls on-net, dialing the full DID number
without an access code can route across the network, dialing anything with a
prefix of 9 (or 8, or whatever...) goes out the PSTN.<o:p></o:p></p>

really need, and how long until "budget cuts" require you to move
from DIDs to an auto-attendant?<br>
<br>
With a five digit dial plan and removing 0 and 9 as the first digit, you have
over 50,000 possible extensions. Is that not enough?<br>
<br>
Also, how much are you paying for DIDs? Even at a $1/mo and 5,000 DIDs, that's
60 grand per year. We've never had DIDs except for the odd one out for special
purposes, so I can't really speak to the efficacy of them, but auto-attendants
seem to do the job around here.<br>

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I have been thinking 10 digit dialing
also, due to the fact that we are going to be hosting users across like 30
different area codes. Allowing each location to dial users in the same
location with 5 or even 4 digits is easy, but I just don’t think 5 digit
dialing between locations with that many different locations is worth the
hassle and headache. I have also seen where you have to plan for the
inevitable changes that will occur, such as new sites stood up, and a host of
other things, like we had one site that actually changed numbers when it was
converted from one provider to another (there was a good reason for it).
I like to take the approach “expect the unexpected”, otherwise you
set yourself up for a mess later. Thanks for all the input and info and
especially the dial plan link. It is really going to help a lot.</span><span
