As you know, there are still locations around the country using 7 digit dialing for local calls. But now the FCC is forcing every state into 10 digit dialing, allegedly for 911 purposes?
I had a call from a customer in Hawaii and Hawaiian Telcom just converted the state to 10 digit dialing and then had to pull it back because so many businesses were unable to dial out at all due to programming that is not set up for 10 digit dial.
I am referring to MICS, not sure of the s.w. version though. I see that there is a "DIALING PLAN" in SYSTEM PROGRAMMING, but am having trouble figuring out the exact program needed to change the number of digits for outgoing calls.
I will keep searching on TekTips, but the SEARCH fricking NEVER gets me anywhere.
Can you point me in the right direction? I am sure I will be having more calls soon.
Thank you
