If you are on a PRI, there is no time penalty in call setup to send the entire phone number. In fact, it is beneficial to have the full number as it reduces conflicts later on if you ever want to add numbers. Not to mention you will make your telco provider much happier if they don't have to come up with consecutive phone numbers but rather can pull from any current gaps and possibly across exchange numbers. If you are on an E&M Wink where the number is transmitted via DTMF or MF, you will find a time penalty for each digit transmitted and therefore you will want to keep the number of digits low. OF course if you are choosing E&M wink, it is possible you aren't wanting to use any of the advance features of the PRI and/or are hamstrung by some other limitation outside of asterisk. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
