Area/city code
Identify the area/city code for the local system.
The term “area/city code” is used to define either area code or
city code. The two terms are used interchangeably.
Countries that use city codes should use this field for city codes,
and countries that use area codes should use the field for area
codes. However, if a country uses both area and city code for its
dialing plan, the field should be used for either the area or city
codes for the site in which the Meridian Mail is located.
When a number that includes an area/city code is provided by a
caller for a fax callback delivery or by a user when replying to
an AMIS message, it will be stripped out if it matches the code
entered in the field.
Example
A caller requests that a fax item be sent (using callback
delivery) to the DN 416-555-9911. The local system’s area/city
code is also 416. Therefore, the area code will be stripped out
and the dialable DN will be 9-555-9911, where 9 is the network
dialing prefix (for local calls).
