Historically this has been on the carrier to perform the necessary translation and route to the appropriate local dig-alert number, just as the carrier redirects 611 to their own support desk. This was also easier when a switch only had one digalert line to worry about. Once upon a time I had an exhaustive list of routing numbers in my nation-wide translations table.

We're in the US, and yes 811 is the underground utility line, but I don't think any of our carriers will pass it.? I don't recall the details on who does what, but carriers like Intelliquent, Bandwidth, and thinQ all do 911 testing on 711/811.
Yeah, I just tried 811 to Intelliquent and it read back my phone number.

What country is this? I believe 811 is supposed to be a USA-wide number to call for locating utilities for digging projects.

We don't handle any others in a traditional way.? Well, 611 is actually in place, to our support line, but it has never once been used. 811 and 711 are used for 911 testing without a real 911 call, as carriers mostly use those for automated systems that return your 911 info.

What three digit numbers are commonly in use and how are people routing them?
Obviously there's 911 and that has a whole routing ecosystem. What about 811? 311? X11?
What other special numbers are people handling?
