Numbering Plan and Dialing Procedures
Numbering plan and dialing procedures consist of Casual Dialing (Dial Around), Directory Services
(411, 555-1212, 0+ Listing Services), Easily Recognizable Codes, Emergency Services (911),
Information Service Calls (900 and 976), n11 support (311, 411, 611, 711, 811), Operator Services, Toll
Free Services and Vertical Service Codes.
Casual Dialing (Dial Around, 101XXXX+Digits)
Casual dialing, also known as dial around, specifies whether the carrier supports 101XXXX calls. The
digit map CLI command tokens provide the digit pattern. The digit pattern specifies all possible
acceptable patterns. An example of a casual digit pattern is 1010321 or 1010220. The digit map table
tells the MGW how to collect and report dialed digits to the CA. Subscribers can prefix their interLATA
or international calls with 101XXXX.
Directory Services (411,555-1212, 0+Listing Services)
Directory services allows a subscriber to obtain the listed telephone number for a given name and
address. The caller dials a specific service number to reach directory services, also referred to as
directory assistance (DA). The supported directory services numbers are:
• 411 or 555-1212 (DA)
• 1+411 or 1+555-1212 (toll DA)
• 1-NPA-555-1212 (mostly for out-of-town/state numbers)
