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 four lists of up to 10 telephone
numbers each.

After completing this procedure, you must use Allowed List Assignments
(#408) to assign the Allowed Phone Number Lists to specific extensions.
Allowed Phone Number Lists override Disallowed Phone Number Lists
(#404) and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401), but not Line Access
Restriction (#302) or Night Service Button (#503) with a System
Password (#403). (There are other ways of overriding restrictions—see
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers, Emergency Phone List Numbers
(#406), and System Password (#403) for more information.)
The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll calls differ depending on
the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether a
“0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required when
you make toll calls.
Considerations
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the [
Hold ] 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 toll 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 [
Next Procedure ] or [ Prev Procedure ] to do so
since entering [
# ] and a three-digit code will be considered data for the
telephone number.
Valid Entries
Up to 12 digits including 0–9, [ # ], [ ✳ ], and [ Hold ] (any single digit)
