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.

be prefixed in the "with preselection" list.

number you have previously stored.
