[VoiceOps] Area code 886

[Paul Timmins]

11xx codes are a pulse dial substitute for the matching *xx code. so 1167 sets the privacy flag just like *67 does. They're not dialable outside of a class 5 end user.

(12xx replaces the #)

Semi related:

Depending on the International vendor, I see the codes 108, 109, 1129, 1139, 1171, 1172, 1173, 1178 being claimed as either valid codes in Canada or the US. I haven't found much information on them but I believe they are special in Canada dial codes for certain services and would likely never complete if a call originated outside of the country.

Watch out for those in ratesheets if your customers dial the 011 prefix for an International call, it may confuse your LCR/rating engine.

If that is the case, you should tell NANPA.  I just downloaded their NPA
database, dated today.  It says:

NPA_ID,type_of_code,ASSIGNABLE,EXPLANATION,RESERVED,ASSIGNED,ASSIGNMENT_DT,USE,LOCATION,COUNTRY,IN_SERVICE,IN_SERVICE_DT,STATUS,PLANNING_LETTERS,"NOTES",OVERLAY,OVERLAY_COMPLEX,PARENT_NPA_ID,SERVICE,TIME_ZONE,AREA_SERVED,MAP,IN_JEOPARDY,RELIEF_PLANNING_IN_PROGRESS,HOME_NPA_LOCAL_CALLS,HOME_NPA_TOLL_CALLS,FOREIGN_NPA_LOCAL_CALLS,FOREIGN_NPA_TOLL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_LOCAL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_TOLL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_FOREIGN_LOCAL_CALLS,"DIALING_PLAN_NOTES"
886,General Purpose Code,No,Set aside for toll free,No,No,,N,,,N,,,,"",No,,,Toll-Free,,,,No,No,,,,,,,,""
