BlackBerry MVS dial plan considerations
You can configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager so that BlackBerry MVS users can make calls from the call log or contact list on their devices without adding a trunk access or steering code (such as 9) before the phone numbers.
The following route patterns provide an example of a permissive North American dial-plan with 10-digit local calling. This dial-plan allows BlackBerry MVS users to present their calling line ID number to external parties and also allows the BlackBerry MVS Caller Identification Number (for PBX-initiated call direction) to be presented at the BlackBerry MVS Client.
| Route pattern | Use |
|---|---|
| XXXXXXXXXX prefix 1 | For North American long distance calls dialed as 10 digits |
| NPAXXXXXXX no prefix | For local 10 digits calls |
| 1XXXXXXXXXX no discard digits | For North American long distance calls dialed as 1+10 digits |
| 1.NPAXXXXXXX discard pre-dot | For local calls dialed as 1+10 digits |
| 011! | For international calls |
Configure route patterns
A route pattern contains a string of digits (an address) and a set of associated digit manipulations that route calls to a route list or a gateway. They work in conjunction with route lists to direct calls to specific devices and to include, exclude, or modify specific digit patterns.
The following tables are for North American dialing plans only.
