if there is any pre-9 dialing going on, i just add a 8 digit and 11 digit check for leading 9s and drop them at ingress and then both use cases are gracefully managed.
Sounds like a form of permissive dialing. Jam digits in, your translations will sort it out. I like it! So for example, if I dialed an 8-digit string starting with a 9, such as... 9-555-2222 ...it would strip the 9 and send it out as... 555-2222 ...? And if I dialed an 11-digit string starting with a 9, such as... 9-619-555-2222 ...again, it would strip the 9 and send it out as... 619-555-2222 ...? Do you have issues with timeouts, though? Especially in the 7/8-digit case? However, this new 988 order will require many areas to convert to 10-digit dialing (including mine), which may make that irrelivent.
