Great idea to do it now for whomever would like to. It looks like this is just an announcement with no details around implementation yet, but anyone managing a PBX or voip resellers, etc. should be able to allow this quite easily.
Presumably this will be handled at the LEC level and everyone else just needs to let the digits out. I know it is not unusual to have to forward 911 and 411. The former to make sure calls get routes to the correct location and the latter to save money. -bjs On Sat, Jul 18, 2020 at 7:53 PM Mark R Lindsey, ECG <lind...@e-c-group.com> wrote: > Fortunately, all we have to do is setup call forwarding for 988 calls to > go to +1-800-273-8255 > > If anyone here would like to help, they can send me the config steps > necessary to make this work on the platforms you manage.
