Subject: T-Mobile Reaches $500 Million Settlement in Huge 2021 Data
Breach
The company, which said the hacking had affected 76.6 million people,
agreed to pay $350 million to settle claims and spend $150 million to
bolster security.
By Michael Corkery
T-Mobile has agreed to a settlement totaling $500 million in a
class-action lawsuit filed by customers after the company disclosed in
August that sensitive data had been breached in a cyberattack.
In a court filing late Friday, the mobile phone giant said it would
pay $350 million to settle the customers' claims and spend $150
million over the next few years bolstering its cybersecurity
protection and technologies.

When I look at the manual, starting around page 197 it describes the way you
define the dial plan, which probably not by coincidence looks just like the
way you define dial plans on a Cisco/Linksys adapter.
Somewhere in the config the dial plan for each line is something like this:
(1234;<+>567.;....;911S0)
It's list of digit patterms separated by semicolons. You need to add
988S0 to ths list, which means recognize 988 and put the call through
immediately (zero second timeout). The patterns are evaluated in
parallel so it doesn't matter where in the list it goes.
This assumes that your carriers know what to do with 988. If not, thie
should work, dialing the actual 800 number of the 988 provider
instead:
<988S0:180027388255>
If your dial plan still lets you dial local calls with seven digits
(mine does) you might want to undo that if you care about being abie
to call 988-XXXX numbers in your area code.
R's,
John

You might want to post the question over on www.dslreports.com in the
"VOIP Tech Chat" forum as they still have active members who configure
and modify the firmware for the OBI/Poly series of VOIP devices. You
can post anonymously or create an account and go on from there.
