98-131305-A Making the first call 19
Making the first call
When the terminal is registered with the BGAN network you are ready to make or receive the first
call. The following sections provide a short guide to making calls. For more detailed information,
see Making or receiving a phone call on page 26.
Making a call from the terminal
To make a call from a phone connected to the terminal, dial
00 <country code> <phone number> followed by # or off-hook key.
Example: To call Thrane & Thrane in Denmark (+45 39558800) from an analog phone, dial 00 45
39558800 #
Making a call to the terminal
To make a call to a phone connected to the terminal, dial
+ <Mobile number>
• + is the international call prefix
1
used in front of the country code for international calls.
• Mobile number: The mobile number of the terminal you are calling. The first part of the
number is always 870, which is the “country code” for the BGAN system.
Example: If you are calling from Denmark and the mobile number for Standard Voice is
870772420567 on your terminal, and you want to make a Standard call to the terminal,
dial 00 870 772420567.
If the mobile numbers are listed in the web interface, you can look them up by selecting
PHONE BOOK > Mobile numbers.
If the numbers are not listed, refer to the documents provided with your airtime subscription. We
recommend saving the mobile numbers in the web interface. See Viewing and editing the mobile
numbers on page 53.
Making a call from one terminal to another
To make a call from one terminal to another, dial 00 <Mobile number>.
Note
By default, any handset connected to the terminal will ring on incoming calls. If you have
connected a fax, set the incoming call type on that Phone interface to 3.1 kHz Audio to
avoid that the fax rings and answers an incoming Standard call. For further information,
see Selecting the call type on page 24.
1. The plus sign indicates the code required to dial out of one's country code area, such as 00 in most of
Europe, 011 in the United States, and other short codes in other parts of the world.
Note
There are two Voice numbers, one for 3.1 kHz Audio and one for Standard Voice.
