- It it possible that your employer (the owner of the PBX) has asked
- Pacific Bell to block all long distance calls from your PBX. This
- would force you to dial such calls via your long-distance network at
- presumably a cheaper rate. The other possibility is that the lines
- associated with your PBX have no default PIC, forcing either 10XXX
- dialing or private network access for inter-LATA calls.
-
- Just a thought.
