Hi folks,
I'd like to get some input from those who know (that's you guys.).
We have provided our branches throughout the Florida staellite phones so they cvan reach us in the event of a hurricane or other emergency where they lose power and regular phones. The funny thing about these phones is that they are like their own little country and have their own internation dialing code, All of the phones in my network are the same code and no other company has my code so we are an island in that respect.
Now on my switch here we have some 300+ phones but, of course, not all phones enjoy the same NCOS. I'm the phone guy so my phone can dial internationally and most department heads are in my same NCOS and a few other select essential people.
I don't think I should make just a few special phones able to call these satellite phones - I think everyone should be able to call them - in the event of an emergency, I don't want to make a user have to hunt down a phone that is allowed to call what could potentially be their life-saver. Now I could raise everyone up to the same NCOS as me but that's not a good idea as far as I can tell. I thinkbetter would be to make this one country code available to all - I'm not worried about abuse as these phones are the only thing in that code anyone could call.
So if I am right in thinking anyone should be able to call those special numbers, what's the easiest way to accomplish that? If I'm not, what's a better way?
Thanks!
