I hope that harassment email was sent from a laptop with gold fringe; that would make it an admiralty laptop and not subject to your laws, thus making it impossible to search.

Multiple buildings spread across the city, no problem really, phone number would follow you if you moved. I didn't see anyone comment on this so I just want to say that is beyond stupid. There are real ways to differentiate by groups but this might be the worst implementation I can imagine.

Did I mention this is included on everyone's business cards, appointment cards, various pre-populated paperwork and of course passed on to the mentally-ill clientele?

I love global IT notices that are the email equivalent of a subtweet. Always makes me imagine what exactly some poor dumb user did to trigger a particular "friendly reminder"quote:Your primary number line is the only number that caller ID will identify as being in your immediate local area. Please be aware that if you need to dial 911 for an emergency, you must use your primary local line. If at any time, and on any line, you accidentally call 911 please do not hang up. Inform the 911 center operator that you dialed 911 by mistake.

Dialing 911 and immediately hanging up is "the murderer found them" or "the boyfriend is home" levels of 'deploy the police immediately'.

On the phone systems we deploy we have it set up so calling 611 dials our support line, but they're all set so you dial 9 for an outside line, so I always worry people are gonna gently caress up dialling 9611 to call us and get the police instead.

That's why we set it up for 8 is an outside line. Using 9 is just asking for trouble.

Is there a reason to have a prefix for an outside line any more, other than 'people are used to dialling that way'? Seems like it causes confusion for no benefit.

Thanks Ants posted:Is there a reason to have a prefix for an outside line any more, other than 'people are used to dialling that way'? Seems like it causes confusion for no benefit. I would think it's so that you can have (say) 4-digit extensions recognized as internal and dialed. I just woke up so maybe I'm missing something obvious about VoIP dial strings, but I don't think so since the 9 is a signifier you can use to base a dial string on for outside calls.

Kurieg posted:Dialing 911 and immediately hanging up is "the murderer found them" or "the boyfriend is home" levels of 'deploy the police immediately'. When I was a 911 dispatcher we'd call the number back and if someone answered we'd ask them about why they called and hung up. If they were convincing we let it go. If they denied calling or sounded freaked out or whatever we sent an officer. Generally not a Code 3 call depending on their response. If no one answered we also sent an officer but it wasn't code 3. It would be considered a "suspicious circumstance." At the time lots of people had cordless phones and they sometimes dialed 911 when their batteries were low. No idea who thought that was a good design.

GreenNight posted:Because how would the system know you're dialing Jeff at 5434 and not doing 543-423-1345? An IP phone system needs to know the full dial string in advance, unlike analog systems which receive one digit at a time and determines routing as it receives the digits. The digital system has the full dial string right away and can look at its length and form.

That would just dial out to 611 (strip the 9). If there is a 611 in your area it would reach it, otherwise it would just give a reorder tone or whatever your system is configured to do. guppy posted:I would think it's so that you can have (say) 4-digit extensions recognized as internal and dialed. I just woke up so maybe I'm missing something obvious about VoIP dial strings, but I don't think so since the 9 is a signifier you can use to base a dial string on for outside calls. The current push is to make 7-digit internal dialing the standard to get rid of escape codes. You can manipulate the digits for anything long distance or international anyway, so using your area code + internal 4 digit DN makes a lot of sense.

Then you're playing a game of chicken with the dial timeout. If somebody types too slowly or pauses, it might send the first four digits without waiting for the rest. Otherwise if the timeout is long people will be impatient when dialing 4 digit extensions.

Otherwise if the timeout is long people will be impatient when dialing 4 digit extensions. If you use 7 digit dial it won't place a call until the full string is dialed. There will be no long timeout as long as you match a pattern, and you can just put ! at the end of a route pattern to connect as soon as the last digit is pressed. If you use the leading 9 or whatever then it still won't immediately send digits if you pause because you aren't using directory numbers that begin with 9 so the system knows to wait. If you use DNs that begin with 9 please shoot your voip person. "Hey Betty is at extension 914 oops I pressed 911 again." That's why you don't do it.

I scrapped our Shoretel phones which used 9 and built our new phone system with FreePBX and Polycom phones. Set up the dial plan so we dial 1 and the number or country code and the number, and kept our internal extensions all in the 5000's, we've never had a problem since.
