Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users
can dial regardless of other dialing restrictions, as long as they have access to
an outside line. For example, if you restrict an entire category of calls through
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404),
you can permit calls to a specific
number in that category by placing that number on an Allowed Phone Number
List. Using this procedure, you can create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone
numbers each.

system resets the dialing restrictions to check the number beginning with
the first digit after the star code.
Considerations
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the
h
button on a system phone) to match any
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).
If you are restricting an extension from placing long-distance calls, do not
place numbers beginning with a “0” on an Allowed Phone Number List for
the extension. Once a user is active on an operator-assisted call, the user
will be able to avoid dialing restrictions by asking the operator to dial
restricted numbers.
If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone
numbers in a list, you must use
