I use * in many places.<br>
<br>
*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.<br>

<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any technical limitations, drawbacks, field-experience ? </div>
