when dialing out from analog extention

pick up phone press 9 wait a sec for dialtone
dial number get recording the number i have dialed is invalid

regular digital extension work fine

figure its something simple
any help would be appreciated

thanks Joe

sounds like you have the analog phone connected to an apt with a tee adapter and that apt has idle c.o. access set so when you go off hook you are already on a line. so when the central office receives 9 and anything but 911 you will get a "you can not complete this call as dialed" Shawn
