Oh - you should give that to your service provider. Could get tricky supporting it locally on your switch... Most support it.
Here's a guick blurb from ATT.com:
Routing Features allow you to route and direct incoming Toll-Free calls to different locations or different groups of agents within the same location. Routing Features include:
Area Code Routing - routes calls to different locations based on the caller’s area code. Call centers can easily be set up to handle particular geographic areas. Exchange Routing - allows routing of calls to different locations based on the first six digits of a caller’s telephone number. Caller Recognition Routing - uses a caller’s entire ten-digit telephone number for routing of calls, and allows targeting of callers for special handling. Call Allocator - routes calls to different call centers on a percentage basis. This feature allows the workload to be adjusted based on the number of agents. Time Manager - routes calls to different call centers based on the time of day. Day Manager - routes calls to different call centers based on the day of the week.
I know of no way to do what you are asking for on the PBX alone. If you had CTI and a lot of programming you might be able to do what you are asking, but you would end up chewing up 2 trunks for ever call that was not handled but the local PBX’s call group. (if you transfer a call of site at the PBX level the PBX will act as the bridge.) If you use the Carrier, they will charge you something per call, then the call is sent back to the carrier, and frees up your trunks.
You could do this some what based on ANI with vector routing tables. (if they are supported in V9). I think the old limit was 10 VRTs so that would be all the "areas" you could route based on using VRTs.
it might looks some thing like this:
got to set 3 if ani in (or not in) table 1
stop
route digits 91800XXX1111
You could also do it with ani and greater than statements, but it would not be as granular.
Or you could base it only on ANI and goto to steps if you only tried to route a few, with default going to a different one.
