Entering Local And Extra Area Codes; Updating The Base Station Firmware - Siemens Gigaset A580 User Manual

Entering local and extra area codes

Use the following guidelines to make local calls (calls to the local fixed line net-
work):
u
Depending on the exchange, area codes are not dialed for local calls via your
fixed line network. However, all calls are stored in the Calls list with access
codes. To call back a caller using the Calls list, you must store the local area
code in the phone in whose area your phone is being used. If your phone is
in a "multiple area code" area, you must also enter the other area codes that
belong to this area as extra codes.
u
With local calls via your VoIP connection the area code must also be dialed.
If you have stored your area code in the phone and activated the
code for local calls through VoIP
is dialed automatically when dialing numbers without an area code
(e.g. when dialing from the directory).
