Making Cost-Effective Calls; Call Duration Display; Call Charge Display - Siemens GIGASET SL55 Manual

Making cost-effective calls

Sign up with a network provider who offers particularly low-cost call rates (call-by-call)
or view the call charges on the handset. You can use the call-by-call list to manage your
call-by-call numbers.
You manage entries in the call-by-call list in the same way as entries in the
directory by opening the call-by-call list with the C key instead of the
i
directory. You will find information on how to save, change or delete
entries in your handset's user guide.

Call duration display

When you are called, the call duration is automatically shown in the display.
If you call someone else, the call duration is displayed until the call charge display is
transferred. (Requirement: You have asked your network provider to transfer the call
charges.)
When the call is ended, the call duration display stops. It remains in place for
approximately 3 seconds before the handset goes into idle status.

Call charge display

You can display the charges if you have requested this from your network provider.
You can check the cumulative units/total charges and the charges of the last call made
(depending on setting, see page 51). The total charges include the charges accrued by
this handset. If you do not receive any rate information from your network provider,
the call duration is displayed.
Setting up charge calculation
Ask your network provider if the call charges are transferred as a rate unit or as an
amount. Set the account type Units cent.off. or Costs cent.off. accordingly.
If you have selected Costs cent.off., but only units are transmitted by the network pro-
vider, after the call the setting will automatically switch to Units cent.off..
By default, Units cent.off. is pre-set.
