    Hi Folks,

    I'm new to VOIP and I've been tasked with setting up some CME routers for some customers.

    I have some experience but from what I've been reading, setting up a "catch-all" dial peer of 9T is just the lazy way of doing it.

    Has anyone got or is there a standard dial plan that could be used for ireland, taking into account the fact that some counties are 7 digit subscribers and some are 5 and some are both and some area codes are 3 digits and some are 2 etc etc etc...... it all get's a bit out of hand when I try to visualise it.

    Anyway, I'd appreciate the advise,

    Thanks in advance,

    Neil

    I'm not exactly clear on what you are looking for - are you looking for the E.164 numbering structure for Ireland?

    If this, the geographic space is covered in the call termination sheet of the spreadsheet linked to below. Col C = the NDC. Cols D and E indicate the subscriber numbering range blocks.

    http://www.eircomwholesale.ie/dynamic/pdf/Call%20origination%20and%20termination%20OCT_2008.xls

    The number lengths change from time to time within each NDC, so you may have to keep monitoring this document and updating your system settings, depending on your circumstances.

    While Norway, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, France, Monaco, Switzerland, Andorra, etc have modernised their numbering plan by getting rid of the NDC (area codes) and standardizing number lengths, Ireland continues to have a dogs dinner of a numbering system - leading to very long numbers for a relatively small country that requires continuous monitoring for changes by operators all over the world.

    You will find additional information (somewhere, if you have time to hunt in the rather disorganized and dysfunctional www.comreg.ie website) - the same idiots that have given Ireland its current variable length, NDC-antiquated, numbering mess!
