Multiuser
MADN, Do Not Disturb, and Call Forwarding features also affect the
appropriate line key icon of the account.

Making a call

You can place a call using any of the registered user accounts. The
selected user account determines which proxy is used, which domain
name is used for the call target if none was specified, who the target sees
is calling, and what service package-dependent features are available.
The ways to initiate an outgoing call fall into two categories:
• always using the primary user's account
• using a different, explicitly selected account. The usual way to select
an alternate account is to press the line key of that account to obtain
a dialing prompt.
If you initiate dialing by pressing digits from the Idle screen, the primary
account is used after you lift the handset, press the
the handsfree key. The same applies if you initiate a call from the inbox or
Instant Messages screen.
Similarly, the primary account is used when a dial prompt is first obtained
after you lift the handset, press the handset key, or press the
key, and the call is initiated by pressing digits from the Idle screen or by
pressing the Send
If you initiate a call by pressing a line key, the user account associated
with that line key is used when the call is initiated.
If you initiate a call from the Address Book or Friends list, the account that
is selected to display the list, is the same account that establishes the
call. For more information, see
""Menu features" on page 240.
In all cases, if you initiate the call by pressing a line key, then the account
associated with that particular line key takes precedence.
For example, pressing Line Key 1 to obtain a dial prompt, dialing, then
pressing Line Key 2 initiates the call using the account associated with
