Using Geographic Number Lookup
 

OK, so after searching this forum, I finally worked out to put my number and not the $EXTEN in the dial plan for the geographic number.

Anyway I notice from using http://wap.e164.org that the lookup chooses landline numbers over 0800 numbers (in UK). Seems to me 0800 numbers should be boosted to the top even if you specify a landline number for your own number. Leaving my number blank on the webpage does this, but I can't leave the field blank in VoXaLot. Anyone know how to work round this?

Oops, solved my own problem (again!). Might as well keep the post for other users who might be interested.

Putting simple 44 as my own number did the trick. :D

Incidentally, I just tried out my elec provider NPower. Using the 0845 and 0800 numbers gets the same switchboard - result! However the 01668 number (given in e164) gets a different switchboard that says the wait time is 40 minutes. Have they wised up to our ways? :eek:

More then likely, if there is a problem with a NGN report it on e164.org so we can remove it.
