ATA Dialing Plan

[stevech]

That's what I want. There is too much dead air before ring-back is heard. Even on 10 and 11 digit calls.

Like 5-10 seconds. People think they have to hang-up/redial.

I'd be interested in knowing this. It seems like we are waiting longer these days for the dialed number to start ringing. Can that be fixed with a customized dial plan? Should I be dialing # at the end of the string to speed it up?

Pressing that # will definitely speed things up. Try it. Call your favorite store / your place of work with and without the # and see the difference.

My family is so used to #. For most frequently used numbers, I've programmed 3 digit or 4 digit outgoing call routes, such that even with the # it's still shorter than 7 digit. Want to call the doctor? Dial DOC#. Call Mom? Well of course, MOM#. It's so easy.

(then again, my NPA has required 10-digit dialing on POTS for ages nobody around here remembers what 7-digit dialing was like).

You can spoil people with 7 digit anyway by buying the right phone.

My TRU9466 5.8Ghz 2-line Uniden can take a local area code.
For me, if you dial 7 digits it prepends a 734.

CAVEAT:
[I THINK] This only works if you punch the numbers in, then hit send.
If you begin by getting a dial tone first, they are sent immediately.
(I kinda wish it inhibited that so you have to punch a digit first.)
There is no real 7 digit dialing around here to spoil us fro conventional service either.

Step back and consider what the above says:
Given one already has 7 digit dialing with POTS, and is changing to VoIP to get more features for less cost...
Would you have them go buy all new phones? The TRU9466's are $135 (Uniden's list price) plus $30-50 per add-on handset - however these are older/discontinued products.
Reality check, please.

Just thinking outside he box.

Does anyone know if there is a dial plan set in the HT502? Particulary, to activate the voicemail option.
I'm planning to use my own HT502 as BYOD so that I can have a different providers as line 1 and line 2.

Here is the dial plan I use on the 502. Replace 318 with your area code:

{^1900x|<=1318>[2-9]xxxxxx|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|<=1>[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|011[2-9]x.|<611=18004377950>|<411=18002464411>|x+|*x+|*xx* x+}
