(p. 14) to manage your call-by-call
numbers.

preselection
You can use two lists to specify a call-by-
call number (preselection number) that
will be automatically placed in front of
certain numbers when you dial them:
u
List with preselection: In this list you
specify the prefixes or the first digits of
prefixes with which you wish the
preselection number to be used.
u
List without preselection: In this list
you specify the "exception to the rule".
The "rule" is what you specified in the
"list with preselection".
.
OK
Making cost-effective calls
Example:
You have entered "08" in the preselection
list. All numbers beginning with 08 will be
dialled automatically with the
preselection number.
Entering "081" in the list without
preselection restricts the above rule.
Numbers with 081 are now a specific
subgroup of the 08 numbers. All 081
numbers will be dialled without
preselection.

Depending on the particular country, the
list "with preselection" may already
contain preset numbers. This means, for
example, that all national calls or calls into
the mobile phone network will be
automatically linked to the call-by-call
number which you have previously stored.
