jawaid Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I am setting up a single domain for residential customers, just wondered what would be the best way of assigning extension numbers. Do I just use an arbitrary 4 digit range, or is it best to use the full E164 Number? Your thoughts, advise and experience please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardDCG Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Might be easier to manage/identify as a full number for residential - extension matches the trunk and call plan? They are unlikely to need to call each other (accidentally or otherwise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 In the latest version you can make sure that all calls are sent to the trunk, even for "internal" calls. IMHO you should just give them their full phone numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawaid Posted April 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Thank you - that is useful to know. I will probably setup different dial/call plans for each number, so that they can dial a local number by just entering 6 or 7 digits, and then translate to the full number..

Vodia PBX Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 What you could also do is to create tenants for each area code, especially if there are only a few area codes this will save you time for assigning dial plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawaid Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thanks That seems to be a good idea. what would you suggest the domain name to use. I was thinking if the area code is 0161 (I am based in the UK), for Manchester use some thinking like residential_0161.domain.co.uk for the domain/tenant name or even residential.manchester.domain.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
