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.
Tips:
u
Compare the rates for long-distance calls (especially for international calls) offered by
your fixed line network and VoIP providers, and determine which connection should be
used specifically for these countries/locations, e.g. a dialling plan for the
Phone Number
"0033" would apply to every call made to France.
u
Use dialling plans to define that numbers starting with a call-by-call number are always
made via your fixed line network connection. To do so, enter the call-by-call number in
the
Phone Number
field.
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
Please note:
You can override dialling plans, with the exception of blocks, as follows:
– Dial the number with a line suffix (e.g. 123456789#3, see page 32).
– Before you enter the number, define a different connection type by pressing the display keys
§FixedLine§
/
§IP§
If, for example, you press
§FixedLine§
, the number will be dialled via the fixed line network, even if
the dialling plan states that a VoIP connection should be used.
Area code predialling is not prefixed to numbers governed by a dialling plan (page 148).
