Toll Call Prefix (#402)
Description
This system option indicates whether users must dial a 0 (for operator-assisted
calls) or 1 (for direct-dial calls) before an area code when making toll (long
distance) calls, or just the area code and number. This option should be set to
reflect the dialing patterns of your local phone company.
Related Features

only applies if

Considerations
If you are required by your local phone company to dial 1 before a long distance
number, this option should be set to 1; otherwise, set this option to 2.
