Since this is my first * pri turnup, what should the dialing string look like in the US? (All outgoing calls will either be local or national (US); no need for international at this time). Been using the following two numbers as examples: 449-1234 = Local Call 402-434-1234 = Long Distance Call If I dial 449-1234 the call is completed via the pri. If I add the area code (402-449-1234) the call is completed via the pri. If I add a "1" in front, the call goes to a recording saying I don't need the "1". If I call the 402-434-1234 (long distance), its blocked via a disconnect coming back from the telco (which is what was shown in the original debug trace that started this thread). Is there something different that I "should" be dialing?
