Setting area code predialling
On the base station, save the complete code (with international code) for the area in which
you are using the phone.
For VoIP calls you must generally always dial the area code – even for local calls. You can
save the need to dial the area code for local calls by setting your phone to prefix this code
for all VoIP calls made in the same local area.
For calls made via VoIP, the area code entered is then prefixed to all numbers that do not
start with 0 – even when dialling numbers from the directory and other lists. Exceptions:
Numbers for which you have defined dialling plans (page 133).
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Dialling Plans.
Configure the following settings in the Area Codes area:
¤ From the Country list, select the country in which you are using your phone. This way
the country code and the prefix of the area code are automatically set (in International
Prefix / Area Code and Local Prefix fields).
¤ In the Local Area Code field enter the area code for your town without a prefix, e.g. 20
(for London).
¤ Click Yes next to Predial area code for local calls through VoIP to activate the function.
Click No to deactivate the function. You will then need to enter the area code for local
calls made via VoIP. Numbers in the directory must always contain the area code for dial-
ling via VoIP.
¤ Click Set to save the settings.
Defining dialling plans – cost control
You can define dialling plans to reduce costs:
u You can define the connection (one of your VoIP accounts, the fixed line network)
through which calls to specific numbers should be made and paid for.
If you enter just a few digits (e.g. local area, national or mobile network code) any call
to a number beginning with these digits will be made via the elected connection.
u You can block specific numbers, i.e. your phone will not establish a connection to these
numbers (e.g. 0900 numbers).
These dialling plans apply to all registered handsets. The settings for the default connec-
tion (briefly press/press and hold c) and the send numbers of handsets do not apply to
numbers governed by a dialling plan.
Please note:
u The area code will also be prefixed to VoIP calls made to emergency numbers if there
are no defined dialling plans for these numbers.
u The numbers of your network mailbox saved in the base station are not prefixed with
a code (page 136).
