    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.

    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.

    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.
