but I dictate the internal dial plan.

When I was designing I always tried to dictate the internal dial plan.   The though being:  "That's why they call me the designer, because I know what will work best."   Didn't always fly.

Ralph, I'm not a big fan of not using an access digit because you can lose too many possible extension ranges on a large system. 1000s are out and here locally I would need to stay away from anything that had 404, 706, 770, 678 and 978 because they are all local area codes. I guess I could use a 2, 3, 5 or 8000 series for extensions.

In the US it depends on what the local dialing plan is.   For example, in some LATAs you need to dial 1+area code + number.
In others you can just dial the number.   For example, some areas would make you dial "1-555-666-1234"  other areas you only need to dial "666-1234".   In those areas the "1+<area code>" is reserved for LD.

In the case where you are forced to dial the 1+<area code> then you would use the '1' as your ARS access code.  The digit mod wouldn't delete the '1' and it would simulate direct to ARS.

You sometimes run in to customers who are stuck on this.  The approach we took in a very similar situation was as follows:

  • All internal extension numbers were in the 1000 range.  (In a small system you could use the 100 range)
  • Numbers 2 through 9 and 0 (for international calls) were ARS leading digits  (Second Dial Tone set to "NO")
  • All feature codes started with a * or #

This worked great for this particular customer.  I suppose if a 1+ prefix was required by the carrier it could be inserted in the digit modification plan for a particular route.  In this case the carrier accepted 10 digits for all calls.
