[hylafax-users] 10 digit dialing, dialrules, Toronto, area code 416
Alan Olsen wrote on 23/03/04 02:24 PM:
Also, does anyone have a good set of dialrules for dealing with
10-digit dialing? (Like, for example Portland, Oregon?)
Hi Alan,
I can't help you with Portland, Oregon in particular, but here's what I
did for my area (Toronto, Ontario, Canada, area code 416 and 647) which
also has 10 digit dialing (within Toronto, and to the surrounding 905
and 289).
Check out http://members.dandy.net/~czg/search.html
I found it to be a very useful web site which covered everything I
needed to know about which exchanges are local and which are long
distance from Toronto, and a quick search for Portland seems to show the
equivalent information. It can even tell you which cellular carrier
your friends use, based on which exchanges their numbers are in (though
that may get mixed up if portable numbers come in).
For the newbies: (and speaking in terms of North America) by "exchange"
I mean the first 3 digits in the old fashioned 7 digit numbers, or
nowadays, the middle 3 of the 10 digit number. I.e. in the canonical
number +1-416-555-6677, the 1 is the "country" code, 416 is the area
code, 555 is the exchange. ("Country code" being a bit of misnomer
since it includes USA and Canada and I think even Puerto Rico or
something like that.)
Using this and some search-and-replace editing, I created the attached
dialrules file which adds the 1 prefix for all my calls that need it
(i.e. that are long distance) and doesn't add it (in fact takes it out
if present) for all my calls that don't need it. This assumes all
numbers come in to the script either as 10 digit 416-555-6677 or
canonical +1-416-555-6677. Of course they can use different separators
or other "syntactic sugar" as is already handled in the default
dialrules file.
It does not handle 7 digit numbers by guessing that you want to add 416,
or anything. In fact I've never tried it with a 7 digit number, so lets
just say the behaviour is undefined in that case.
Enjoy.
Martin
p.s. By the way there are others in the archives (Google for hylafax
dialrules toronto) but they seem to either be incomplete or to pre-date
the switch to 10 digit dialing.

! HylaFAX (tm) Dialing String Processing Rules.
!
! This file describes how to process user-specified dialing strings
! to create three items:
!
! CanonicalNumber: a unique string that is derived from all dialing
! strings to the same destination phone number. This string is used
! by the fax server for ``naming'' the destination.
!
! DialString: the string passed to the modem for use in dialing the
! telephone. This string should be void of any characters that might
! confuse the modem.
!
! DisplayNumber: the external, displayable, form of a number that
! does not include private information which should not be displayed
! to clients.
!
Area=${AreaCode} ! local area code
Country=${CountryCode} ! local country code
IDPrefix=${InternationalPrefix} ! prefix for placing an international call
LDPrefix=${LongDistancePrefix} ! prefix for placing a long distance call
!
WS=" " ! our notion of white space
!
! Convert a phone number to a canonical format:
!
! +<country><areacode><rest>
!
! by (possibly) stripping off leading dialing prefixes for
! long distance and/or international dialing.
!
CanonicalNumber := [
#.* = ! strip calling card stuff
[abcABC] = 2 ! these convert alpha to numbers
[defDEF] = 3
[ghiGHI] = 4
[jklJKL] = 5
[mnoMNO] = 6
[prsPRS] = 7
[tuvTUV] = 8
[wxyWXY] = 9

^${IDPrefix} = + ! replace int. dialing code
^${LDPrefix} = +${Country} ! replace l.d. dialing code
^[^+]{10} = +${Country}& ! otherwise, insert canon form
]
!
! Process a dialing string according to local requirements.
! These rules do only one transformation: they convert in-country
! international calls to long-distance calls.
!
DialString := [

! For dialing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
! - original Area Code 416
! - recently (around 2001) 647 overlay was added in the same area
! - surrounding region is 905, to which 289 was recently overlaid
! - from 416, some 905 exchanges are local (don't need a 1 prefix to dial)
! while others are long distance (need a 1 prefix)
! - this web site http://members.dandy.net/~czg/search.html was very
! handy for getting the list of which exchanges are local
