Defining dialling plans

The "Dialling
tion to dialling plans for emergency numbers, you can now define dialling plans for any
phone number and local or international area codes.

Cost control

You can define dialling plans to reduce costs:
u
You can define the connection (one of your VoIP accounts, the fixed line network) via
which calls to specific numbers should be made and paid for.
If you enter just a few digits (e.g. local area, national or mobile network code), any call
to a number beginning with these digits will be made via the selected connection.
u
You can block specific numbers, i.e. your phone will not establish a connection to these
numbers (e.g. 0900 numbers).
These dialling plans apply to all registered handsets. The settings for the default connec-
tion (briefly press/press and hold c) and the send numbers of handsets do not apply to
numbers governed by a dialling plan.
Please note:
You can override dialling plans, with the exception of blocks, as follows:
– Dial the number with a line suffix (e.g. 123456789#3, see page 1).
– Gigaset S450 IP: Before you enter the number, define a different connection type by pressing the
display keys
If, for example, you press §FixedLine§, the number will be dialled via the fixed line network, even if
the dialling plan states that a VoIP connection should be used.
Area Code Predialling
Tips:
u
Compare the rates for long-distance calls (especially for international calls) offered by
your fixed line network and VoIP providers, and determine which connection should be
used specifically for these countries/locations, e.g. a dialling plan for the
"0033" would apply to every call made to France.
u
Use dialling plans to define that numbers starting with a call-by-call number are always
made via your fixed line network connection. To do so, enter the call-by-call number in
the

u
For your network mailboxes, define that you should always be called on the number for
which you accept calls.
