Making cost-effective calls
Make your calls via a network provider
who offers very low call charges (call-by-
call), or have the call duration displayed
on your handset after the call. You can
store and manage several call-by-call
numbers.
Automatic network provider
preselection
You can specify a call-by-call number
(preselection number) that is automati-
cally placed before certain numbers from
two lists when you dial.
u The "with preselection" list contains
the "rule": dialling codes or the first dig-
its of dialling codes with which the
preselection number will be used.
u The "without preselection" list con-
tains the "exception to the rule".
Example:
You have entered 08 for "with
preselection". Now all numbers that
start with 08 will be dialled with prese-
lection.
If you want, say, 081to be dialled with-
out preselection, then enter 081 for
"without preselection".
Now when you dial, after you press the
talk/handsfree key the first digits of the
dialled number are compared with both
lists :
u The preselection number is not placed
before the number if the dialled
number matches
– no entry on either list
– one entry on the "without preselec-
tion" list
u The preselection number will be used
when the first digits of the dialled
number match only one entry on the
"with preselection" list.
