Overview 
............

You can make the following customizations to improve + number dialing:

* Suppress the outside dial tone, which is unnecessary for + number dialing.
* Support Digit by Digit Dialing

The procedures to implement the customizations depend on whether you have deployed
country-specific dial plans or not.

Edit country dial plan schema to suppress outside dial tone
............................................................

To suppress an unnecessary outside dial tone for + number dialing, edit the
pre-11.5(1) country dial plan schema prior to deploying the country dial plan.

1. Login as the Provider administrator.                   
#. Go to **Dial Plan Schema**.   
#. Click the country dial plan schema you want to modify.

.. important:: 
                                                                   
   Select the country dial plan schema located closest to the customer hierarchy node.                           
   
4. Click the **Translation Patterns** tab.
#. For each translation pattern that begins with '\+' and that does not contain
   another '\+', uncheck the Provide Outside Dial tone check box.                   
#. Click **Save**.

Edit country dial plan schema to enable digit by digit dialing
...............................................................

To enable digit by digit dialing for + number calling, edit the country dial plan
schema prior to deploying the country dial plan.

.. important::

   Enabling digit by digit dialing also introduces Post Dial Delay.

1. Login as the Provider administrator.                   
#. Go to **Dial Plan Schema**.
#. Click the country dial plan schema you want to modify.

.. important::
                                                                   
   Select the country dial plan schema located closest to the customer hierarchy node.
   
4. Click the **Translation Patterns** tab.                    
#. For each translation pattern that begins with '\+' and that does not contain
   another '\+', uncheck the Urgent Priority check box.                                    
#. Click **Save**.                                            



Edit Cisco UCM translation patterns to suppress outside dial tone
........................................................................

If pre-11.5.1 country dial plans have been deployed, edit the Cisco UCM 
translation patterns to suppress an unnecessary outside dial tone for + number
dialing.


1. Log in as the Provider administrator.                  
#. Set the hierarchy path to the customer for which you are suppressing the outside
   dial tone.                 
#. Go to **Translation Patterns**.
#. Filter the translation patterns to see only + numbers for a country dial plan.

   a. Click the funnel-shaped filter icon on the Translation Pattern column heading.                
   #. Select **Starts With** as the Filter Type.             
   #. Enter \+ in the Value field.                       
   #. Click + to add another filter.                     
   #. Select **Partition** as the Column.                    
   #. Select **Contains** as the Filter Type.                
   #. Enter <ISO-CC>DP in the Value field, where <ISO-CC> is the three letter
      ISO country code for a country dial plan deployed for the customer. For 
      example, for a US customer enter USADP.            
   #. Click **Apply**.
   
5. Click each translation pattern except for ones that contain more than one '\+'.                            
#. Uncheck the **Provide Outside Dial Tone** checkbox.
#. Click **Save**.                                            


Edit Cisco UCM translation patterns to enable digit by digit dialing
...........................................................................

If country dial plans have been deployed, edit the Cisco UCM translation
patterns to enable digit by digit dialing.

.. important::

   Enabling digit by digit dialing also introduces Post Dial Delay.

1. Log in as the Provider administrator.                  
#. Set the hierarchy path to the customer for which you are enabling digit by
   digit dialing.                   
#. Go to **Translation Patterns**.
#. Filter the translation patterns to see only + numbers for a country dial plan.

   a. Click the funnel-shaped filter icon on the Translation Pattern column heading.                
   #. Select **Starts With** as the Filter Type.

   #. Enter <ISO-CC>DP in the Value field, where ISO-CC> is the three letter ISO
      country code for the country dial plan deployed for the customer.
      
   For example, for a US customer enter USADP.
   
   h. Click **Apply**.
   
5. Click each translation pattern except for ones that contain more than one '\+'.                            
#. Uncheck the **Urgent Priority** checkbox.
