Call Bar blocking Short Codes

[NightHawkGA]

I've got a customer on 5.0(26) that turned on Outgoing Call Bar for several phones and then found that short code *99 (which is paging for them) was blocked also.

Outside of setting up ARS for them, is there another option to fix this? Or, is there a short code 'range' that would work where *9x does not?

Route that users call to a made up ARS (using user shortcodes) so that any outside calls will fail but all others will work

what feature is the *99 shortcode using?
if it is dial to sent it to a trunk then change it to DialEmergency
this will override the Outgoing call bar.
