Entering your own area code, activating/deactivating an automatic
area code for VoIP
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 (
£
Predial area
code for local calls through VoIP option).
For calls made via VoIP, the area code entered is then prefixed to all numbers
that do not start with 0 – even when dialing numbers from the directory and
other lists.
Exceptions: Phone numbers for which you have defined dialing plans and
deactivated the
Use Area Codes option (

Page 123).
When making calls via the fixed line network, the area code entered is with-
held, e.g. when dialing using the Calls list (£ Page 61).

function.
