I have a vanity number with a local (ie not toll free) area code. It
takes 8 digits (exclusive of area code) to ***** the vanity word.
Dialing the 8 digits from a Sprint phone results in a recording that
the "number or code" is incorrect". Is there any solution here or is it
just wait and hope that Sprint makes network adjustments that will
process 8 digits. (it seems to be fine for 8 digit toll free numbers)
If anyone has a real solution that works, I'm willing to pay serious
money for it.

Re: vanity 8 digits
Dial only the 7 digits. There, easy, wasn't it? ;>)

Is this set up to some kind of pbx system? Most 8-digit setups I have seen
were 7digits for the actual number and then the 8th digit was used on the
pbx for the extension/menu.

Re: vanity 8 digits
Sorry for being so dense, but your first sentence confuses me. How can
a local area code not be toll free? To me, if you have to pay a toll
when calling an area code, then it is not a local call. Local calls are
toll free. I am also not sure what you mean by "8 digit toll free
numbers". Here one can dial 7 digit local numbers. Any additional
numbers pressed are just ignored.

Huh? Those would be 10 digit numbers.

Re: vanity 8 digits
What I'm saying is that I have this 8 digit vanity number for my
business. The problem is that if one of my customers calls this
vanity number that I advertise, they won't get through if they dial
from a Sprint phone the 8 digits that it takes to make up the vanity
word.

Re: vanity 8 digits
No, there's no pbx involved. I simply mean the vanity word is made up
of 8 digits. It *****s the word "accident". So if someone dials from a
Sprint phone the 8 digits that it takes to ***** the word, they get a
recording saying the number is incorrect. It's not an 800 or 888 or 877
etc area code. It's a Florida area code.

causes the wrong number recording.
