Example Dial Plans |
|
Dial Plan 1: | (<*1:0123456789>) |
Description: | This plan demonstrates replacement. If you dial a * followed by a 1 then the |
| number 0123456789 would be dialed. |
Dial Plan 2: | |
Description: | This plan demonstrates replacement and limiting choices. When you dial an 0 |
| followed by a 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 and then nine of any other digit |
| prepend 61 and remove the 0. So if you rang 02 123456789 the actual number |
| that would be called would be 61 2 123456789. |
Dial Plan 3: | (1900xxxxxx!) |
Description: | This plan demonstrates number barring. If you enter a 1900 followed by 6 |
