Appendix 4: Known Working SPID Formats by Telco

SPIDs are only used in the USA & Canada.  Your SPIDs may be different!  Note, for each line
there is only one configuration that will work.  Your SPID is distinct from your telephone
number, and does not necessarily contain your area code or telephone number (although this is
generally the case).

A standardized SPID format for National ISDN of XXXYYYZZZZ0101 was phased in during 1996
and is used by most of the Telcos for new lines. Incorrect SPIDs will be indicated by a line status
of “Wait” on the ISDN status screen.

Certain Telcos will leave the last “00” or “01” off the end of your SPID when giving it to you. For
the latest list check Telos Systems’ web page. Additional SPIDs can be found at INTEL’s SPID
