Ideally, we would do away with E.164/NANP dialing and assign everyone their own personal IPv6 address. Maybe figure out some sort of abbreviation so people don't have to memorize a sixteen character string.

Who What Now posted:So in America phone numbers are a nine digit string, meaning there is at most 1,000,000,000 possible combinations. America's population is 328 million, but when you factor in business phones, especially ones with multiple lines you'll start to see the impending crisis we have on our hands that nobody is talking about. We passed peak phone numbers a long time ago and soon we won't have enough to go around. We MUST solve this crisis!! my phone number has ten digits

Add more numbers, duh. No, not to the phone number. To the keypad. So you have 0-9 now, but add like 10, 11 and 12. So then you can have the same amount of numbers but more total numbers! Example: -558 -559 -55 uh oh we have nothing else! The solution: -558 -559 -5510 -5511 -5512 It's the most sensible solution.

syntaxfunction posted:-5512 That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. Adding more digits is nontrivial. You can't just make it so that there are new 10-digit numbers that are the same as as existing 9-digit numbers but one longer. At least not while touch tone dialing is still a thing... there's no enter key on the keypad, no way to indicate that you're done dialing after the ninth digit. You could add timeout but that's still a lousy UX and would result in numerous wrong calls to the 9-digit numbers. Move the canucks to currently reserved and somewhat dignified country code 28; free up all their area codes in the US system and make those and any other still unused area codes new US 10-digit numbers. Inside Canada their old numbers would be unchanged.

frumpykvetchbot posted:That's not how this works. You're struggling with this, so I will try to explain more for you  You don't add an extra number, that's silly, like you said. Like 559 is 5 5 9, and 5510 isn't 5 5 1 0, it's 5 5 10. So you just press the ten button. I dunno, sounds like you're overthinking it honestly.
