Next, Frank checks his list to see what types of toll calls should have special routing.
He has line pools suitable for calls to area code 609 only, to 13 other area codes in
the Northeast, and to area codes in Canada. He plans to set up an ARS table for
each of these types of calls.
His first step is to set up a table for calls to area code 609, the other area code in New
Jersey. He enters "609" in the Area Code/Exchange section of the form for Table 6.
Since the in-state WATS line pool is the least expensive method for calling area code
609, Frank makes "890" his first entry in the Pool column of Table 6. WHIZ is an ac-
ceptable, though less economical, route for these calls. To make WHIZ the second-
choice route, he writes down "9," the number of the main pool that provides access
to WHIZ, as his second entry in the Pool column. In the corresponding space in the
Other Digits column, he enters the WHIZ access number and account code, along
with the required pauses.
Frank doesn't enter an absorption code in this table, since all digits dialed by the caller
are dialed by the system to place the call.
Frank doesn't include Pool 9 without WHIZ in Table 6, although people could use
local lines to place calls to numbers in area code 609. This is because Prime's finan-
cial director doesn't want long distance calls placed on local lines.
