I'm figuring out how to apply a dialing standard that is not designed to be handed by FreePBX.
Forcing 800 users to change a nearly 10 year habit will not go over well.
We have IP Office <insert Mr. Yuk sticker here> and I kept getting notices that we were calling 911. Our users were fat-fingering 9 for an outside line. I know, I know. I don't even ask anymore.
I changed it to 8 for an outside line. The backlash was severe. Monumental, actually.
We had a problem where people wheren't using the "outside call" button on the old Inter Tel phones - then dialing Jimmy Johns xxxx911x, so the first 4 x's were an invalid extension, so the system would dump it, then they dialed 911 - and were getting 911, but then the employee would realize the system was getting what they wanted - so they hung up on 911 instead of telling them it was a misdial.
There was a point where I added a route to the outside so that all outside calls needed 8,1-number and would strip out the 1 for local calls and push through the 1 for long distance....back in the day we had our lines split between local and long distance. Pre-PRI/SIP
Not sure we could do that here. The 402 area code is both local and long distance. The dialer (person) just has to know - or deal with the phone system error for not dialing a 1 if it was long distance.
Ah. I should have specified... our system allowed us to setup FRS? routing <I can't remember> by (area) <exchange>

Almost all systems can do that. Even old ones. They were just a pain in the ass to setup.
Probably was called Least Cost Routing.

All work this weekend. Tomorrow is major bathroom overhaul work. Home stretch there.
Sunday is a PBX migration in town. -
Need to cut some holes in our walls to get a sub panel up stairs. Then finishing the upstairs laundry room.

No plans this weekend, just how I like it.

Went to a Ham Convention with my dad. Pretty cool stuff still going on in amateur radio. Then went to dinner with family and DIL for his birthday.

@nerdydad Sounds fun!

Watched a guy work an amateur radio satellite with 2 radios and a cell phone. Everything else he built himself with a tripod, some copper, PVC, and a dowel rod.

I've not thought about the weekend at all yet.

Sadly, no kids for me

@scottalanmiller That is sad. Why did they leave and miss Fathers Day?

Yes, but they will be with the grandfathers, so I guess it is okay.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah guess so. I know I would be very sad though

I have not seen my kids on Father's Day in years.
