Not entirely. Traditional voice often has a "max number" setting which stops people from dialing extra digits. Currently for Vodafone this would be 7, if they're now using 8 for pre-pay then this would need to be increased to 8 to allow for these new numbers. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Phillips [mailto:steve(a)focb.co.nz] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 10:27 AM To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Vodafone dial pattern - another change ?

In the last 24 hours I've heard from multiple sources that Vodafone is now using 8 digit prepay numbers - the numbers I was given that were reported 'not working' (because our PBX didn't match all the digits) were both 021-0222xxxx, ie, 8 digits after the 021.
I know I asked about this only one month ago, but back then 021[012] only appeared to require 6 further digits, and not 7.
I've just tried calling both 0222xxxx numbers from my vodafone mobile, and they they both rang. I tried leaving the last digit off, and they both failed, so it does suggest that things have changed.
Does anyone know what's going on, and/or what the correct prefix for this number pattern is ? If I change my end to match 0210 plus 7, it will introduce a 5 second delay into any numbers that only have 6 digits after the 0210
Doesn't vodafone own "anything after the 021", similar to how a domain structure is setup ? and if so, you are in essence asking "so.. there is this co.nz domain, can someone please let me know _all_ the permutations under this domain as I um, want to <insert random reasoning here>" Surely the delay thing is why most VoIP type systems accept something such as "#" as an "I've finished inputting my number, please dial it" indicator ? Is the 5 seconds tuneable ?
