[VoIP] Valid CLID

[Dennis D Hock]

I agree with John.  I understand or at least I think I understand why greg
and some others may wish or need to use "200" as a NPA, and I do recall
gregs post but frankly and honestly I haven't done a thing to my dial plan
to accomodate that.  Not that I am against it but I am against it at this
time.  I would say Johns comment of KISS should apply.

I don't think we want to do some things like we find ourselves in here at
work.  That is "ICTIP" or In Confusion There Is Profit ;-).  I think its
day may come that we will need a NPA but I don't think it is necessary to
have it yet.  Just my opinion.

to route outgoing calls that otherwise would be routed to the PSTN by
Asterisk,
I route calls out of CNET by dialing 9-1-XXX-XXXX when I use my
Stanaphone account, and 8-1-XXX-XXXX when I use Gizmo.
Since I access  Asterisk via several phones, either my house system
Panasonic 1232, my EM switch via trunk circuits, and SIP phones, my
situation may differ from others, but I sure as hell don't want to dial
ALL CNET calls with 10 digits.

I have made NO provisions for using nor receiving the 200 NPA. I dial
CNET calls as 7 digits for NA, and Asterisk adds the 1 towards the
network. FOr other than NA calls, I dial 011.
To my mind, this is about as close as I can get to the what used to be
normal NANP, before all the political types stuck their fingers in the mix.

Asterisk can certainly be programmed  around this, but it seems silly to
me right now to have an NPA long before we need it, if ever.
Several of us have multiple office codes that could be released, or have
been released for others to use. Office codes can easily be divided up
between two distant switches, if necessary.
