Area Codes
Information
The T1960 can dial
numbers back directly from
the Caller-ID entered into
the Received Calls list.
Most often, Caller-ID is
received with 10 digits (3-
digit area code + 7-digit
phone number) regardless
of how many digits need to
be dialed to call that
number. The most
prevalent dialing plans in
use are 7-digit (normal 7-
digit phone number), 11-
digit (1+area-code+7-digits)
and 10-digits (area-code+7-
digits). When dialing back
from the T1960 Received
Calls list, the T1960 will try
to figure out if 7, 10, or 11
digits should be dialed.
This is accomplished by
entering area codes as
settings.
There is a "Local Area
Code" and 5 "Regional
Area Code" settings
available. The area code
settings work for displaying
and dialing back numbers
only when the Caller-ID
received is 10 digits. If the
Caller-ID is anything other
than 10 digits, the Area
Code settings are not used
to pre-format the displayed
or dialed number.
