Understanding System and Personal IDs
The messaging system listens for system IDs and personal IDs on a digit-by-digit basis. When a caller enters a system
or personal ID, the system examines the first digit to see if it is a valid ID. If the first digit is not a valid ID, the system
listens to the second digit and checks to see if the combination of the two digits is a valid ID. This process is repeated
for every digit until a match is found or there are no more digits to check.
This method of listening for IDs provides a quick response because the system goes directly to the first available match.
This means that a long ID that begins with digits that match a shorter ID are not permitted. For example, 234 and 2345
do not work as system IDs because system transfers calls to 234 before the caller can enter the final digit. The best
way to avoid this situation is to make sure that all system IDs contain the same number of digits.
