Ok... so this means that for an optional geo number of 6173889xxxx, the "3899" bit would be considered a "closer" match to the "3851" part of +61738510433 than it is to the "3384" part of +61733840033? It's certainly closer numerically, but I'm not sure that's how the algorithm works. If so that would explain why it's picking the "wrong" location.

It seems the lookup needs more information than just the number range - something like a latitude/longitude reference for the exchange - that could then be used for location proximity; even then I don't know if number ranges are tied to physical exchanges these days. And I don't know how feasible it would be implement, anyway. But I imagine such information exists somewhere. |

I'm not sure that will always be true considering the numbering system in Australia. For example, I'm on the Strathpine exchange in Brisbane and have an exchange prefix of 3889. My brother-in-law across the road has the older prefix of 3204. My mother lives 20-25 minutes away in Wavell Heights... on the Nundah exchange... and has a prefix of 3266 (closer numerically than my brother-in-law across the road). As I understand it this is becoming more and more common as older ranges fill and new prefixes have to be allocated.

Geographic Number Lookup **problems**
several of the images on the "Tutorial - Non-Geographic to Geographic Lookups" page does not work. They are the images that are used to illustrate the examples in the tutorial.
Also i can't get a non-geographic number to work properly. The number i am trying is 08707307191, which works when i use the non-geo search on e164.org but not on voxalot. when i test call 08707307191 it resolves to 08707307191 when it should resolve to +35314369001 Please can you tell how to correctly setup a smart call rule for UK 0870 numbers. |

If you can give me as much info as possible I would be more then happy to add it to the system as well. Same goes for any other country for that matter. My preferred contact method is the contact form on e164.org as this sends us an email. |

e164.org doesn't place any arbitary limits on the number of records returned, in one case I think there is over 300 records returned.
VoXaLoT takes these results and sorts them and attempts to guess the closest match. VoXaLoT doesn't submit any geographical numbers to e164.org during the DNS request, and in fact without modifying the DNS code I doubt this would be possible. I have a largish database of acurate long/lat information on Australian exchanges, and it's easy to cross ref this with numbers assigned to an exchange. There is a DNS type called RDATA, which allows you to store "ICBM" (missle) co-ordinates in DNS. So... if you pull the geographical location from DNS of the exchange, then mangle the results with the RDATA information you should get a more accurate match. |
