Please can someone kindly give me an example of how you would configure the ARS to make local calls over SIP without having to enter the 01753 area code.

TIA,
 
SIP needs the area code. You need to add it in to dialling on your SIP ARS table

You need two shortcodes

0N / 0N / Dial
? / 01753. / Dial

More than 2, any operator/directory/1xx and so the European emergency number would go to 017531XX and fail :)

 
That's true, emergency shortcodes should always be added.

Not just emergency in the uk. 118118 etc!!

1N; .
0N; .
N; [std].

Crossed the pond here in corn country we usually set it up as xxxxxxx/dial/(area code of choice)N just catches the local numbers and modifies them.

That is because there is a North American dialplan that specifies every number with the same length. Europe is a mess in that perspective. :)

hmmm.... use the IP Office Manager to create a United Kingdom config and look at the ARS dialplan. Hardly a mess, more a model of simplicity and no obsession with any external dialing prefixes.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
 
OOPS :)

I know that the ARS is very simple (or can be) but the dialplan for public numbers is just nice if you know that every number has the same amount of digits.

doesn't work for sip because of the backwards step of not allowing overlap sending & needing STD included because it wont assume the std code of the originating trunk if not provided.
hence then need for 0N, 1N, 999 & ?

Although since the rise of the Mobile phone I find people tend to naturally dial the STD code from habit regardless

Just add XXXXXX; Dial 01753N Line Group ID to your ARS. Then when they dial any 6 digit number (which it will be if they are dialling locally) it will apend the area code.

I use the same for London but I use XXXXXXXX; Dial 020N

there are still a couple of regions in the uk that have 5 digit local codes, cant remember which ones
it if it is not you then this will be fine, if it is then remove an x :)

Morecombe and places up in the lakes still run 5 digit local with a 6 digit area, but they are still waiting for colour TV aswell!!!

Still better than North America but totally agree "doesn't work for sip". Its a totally retro step that we now have phones where you need to give them a dial plans of what constitutes possible valid numbers, then create a parallel dial plan in ARS to handle those before they actually even go to line.

And its incredibly strange that on mobile device people will adapt to composing the whole number on screen before pressing send, but given a deskphone so many revert to an obsession with hearing dial tone before and between every key press.
