Correct.

The 9-prefixed 8 and 11 digit strings aren't valid anywhere in north america so they are easily identified. I suppose you could also add a 9 prefixed 12 digit for people who dial 91NPANXXYYYY and 9011X. which is also free of collisions.

I dont get any pushback on timeouts for 7D as most users are on a deskphone with a dial button or a mobile app. Cell phones have trained people to hit send.

if there is any pre-9 dialing going on, i just add a 8 digit and 11 digit check for leading 9s and drop them at ingress and then both use cases are gracefully managed.

Sounds like a form of permissive dialing.  Jam digits in, your translations will sort it out.  I like it!

So for example, if I dialed an 8-digit string starting with a 9, such as...
9-555-2222
...it would strip the 9 and send it out as...
555-2222
...?

And if I dialed an 11-digit string starting with a 9, such as...
9-619-555-2222
...again, it would strip the 9 and send it out as...
619-555-2222
...?

Do you have issues with timeouts, though?  Especially in the 7/8-digit case?  However, this new 988 order will require many areas to convert to 10-digit dialing (including mine), which may make that irrelivent.
