August 26, 2010 Digit short cut

iNum – “One number for the world” – has a beautifully simple ring to it, but some iNum users have shared the well intentioned observation that its actually 15 numbers!

Well, here is a tip for sparing your digits when using the network of iNum Access Numbers: Once you reach the voice prompt, leave out the the +883 510 and just dial the 0-xxxx-xxxx.

This will result in the full number 8835100-xxxx-xxxx being called.

——UPDATE:  VoIP expert and iNum user Jeff Bourgeois recently posted additional speed-dialing suggestions for calling iNums for those using Cisco/Linksys IP Phones & ATA and Callcentric services, including a 2-digit method.  Check out his blog for the details.  Thanks Jeff!

    Thanks for this tip.

    I did have some problems when I first tried dialing the inum numbers – after leaving out the +883 5100. When I did that, that left 8 digits remaining to dial. When I only dialed the last 8 digits, it didn’t accept the numbers.

    However, then I realized your example also says only to dial 0xxxxxxxx (which is 9 digits). Now, it works fine when dialing only the last 9 digits of the iNum.

    Just for accuracy sake, this means we leave out the first 6 digits (+883 510) instead of the indicated first 7 digits (+883 5100).

    Anyways, I now got it to work. And, thanks again for the tip and your continuing initiatives with implementing iNum calling.
