When creating a Subscriber Group, the following rules apply:

- Mailbox numbers in Subscriber Groups can be up to 11 digits.

- The prefix can be a maximum of nine digits.

- The suffix is the NP RapidDial number that group members will use to access mailboxes in their Subscriber Group.

In the example above, the mailbox numbers are set at seven digits with five digits in the prefix and two digits in the suffix. All mailboxes numbers have the prefix 12345. Members of Subscriber Group 10 can use the two-digit suffix to address messages to other mailboxes in the group. For example, the user for mailbox 1234510 can press 99 to address a message to mailbox 1234599.
