Anatel's Ninth Digit and SipPulse Configuration

SipPulse is an exceptionally flexible platform and can adapt fairly easily to the ninth digit. It is important to understand that although the change occurs on July 29th, calls with 8 digits will be completed normally for the next 90 days.

Three changes will be needed in SipPulse: dial plan, routing plan, and billing plan.

Routing and Billing Plan

All prefixes 55115 to 55119, except for Nextel, should take the ninth digit into account. In other words, create the routing and billing plans as if the ninth digit were already in effect:

Prefixes starting with 5511 from 2 to 4 are landlines and do not need to be changed
Prefixes starting with 5511 from 5 to 9 should receive a 9 in front
Prefixes 551170, 551177, 551178, and 551179 should be treated specially (Nextel)

Dial Plan

All the magic will be done in the dial plan where all numbers except Nextel will be transformed to nine digits:

Name	Expression	Replaced Expression	Transformed Expression	Priority
9-digit dialing	^0119[5-9][0-9]$	(0)(119[5-9][0-9])	_CC2	0
8-digit dialing	^011[5-9][0-9]$	(0)(11)([5-9][0-9])	_CC293	0
Nextel dialing	^011[7][07-9][0-9]$	(0)(11[7][07-9][0-9])	_CC2	1

Important: All rules must point to "routing" and must have a regular expression as the operator. Changes to the routing, billing, and dial plan tables must be made at the same time.
