Account Codes are codes you enter that help keep track of outside
calls. There are two types of Account Codes: Optional and Forced.
With optional codes, the Account Codes you enter are solely for cate-
gorizing your calls. For example, if you work in an accounting firm
that must bill back customers for time on the phone, Optional Account
Codes are for you. Forced Account Codes also let you categorize calls,
but you must enter one before placing outgoing calls. If you don't enter
the code, you can't place the call. This ensures that calls don't go out
untracked. When forced and verified Account Codes are enabled for
toll calls only, local and toll free numbers have optional account codes.
Check with your Communications Manager to find out if your system
uses Account Codes - and which codes you should enter. Account
Codes can be from 1-16 digits long, using 0-9 and #.

your codes.
