ViciDial NANPA data

[ajax1515]

I noticed that the table vicidial_nanpa_prefix_codes, seems not to be populated by default. Currently we use NANPA data from zip-codes.com to populate data in some of our other systems outside of ViciDial, I was wondering if ViciDial had anything they would recommend for getting this data?

[ajax1515]

In addition, we also have a need to load some 1-800 numbers into the list, which obviously fail if the NANPA check is being used... Would the best way to ensure those leads get in be to simply NOT pass the check_nanpa_prefix='y' flag to the non_agent_api when adding the lead, or would it be better to manually add the 800 numbers into the nanpa_codes table, or something else?

The NANPA list is available here:
http://www.vicidial.org/store.php

It is more than just the list of NANPA prefix codes, it also has the timezone and DST information for each of the prefixes. The source of this information is not free, which is why we have to charge for the data.

Right that's what I had assumed, Thank you Matt!

Matt,

Could you also give me a quick response to this question:

"In addition, we also have a need to load some 1-800 numbers into the list, which obviously fail if the NANPA check is being used... Would the best way to ensure those leads get in be to simply NOT pass the check_nanpa_prefix='y' flag to the non_agent_api when adding the lead, or would it be better to manually add the 800 numbers into the nanpa_codes table, or something else?"

Thanks!

It's really up to you, either would work.
