no from the Asterisk perspective it will work regardless of the number dialled as long as it matches the 55512XX pattern. As others have pointed out though, it's just easier to have a single DID and your provider allow multiple channels or instances of the same number to hit your box.
it's hard sometimes to let go of concepts from the legacy PBX world when you try to integrate their equivalent in Asterisk. For example, I still enforce the "dial 9 to get an outside line" in my setups even though there is no technical reason for doing do. The reason is because people can't deal with dialling direct and it becomes a training issue. The other one that always makes me laugh is people depressing the hookswitch to flip between calls even though they have line indicator buttons right there, flashing on their phone. Fortunately Snom phones allow this functionality. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Bosch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 10:49 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAX DID channels as incoming hunt group?

That only works if the caller has dialled one of the other numbers. If we only publish one number (555 1212), what then? -s _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
