For Voip - Siemens Gigaset A580IP Manual

Setting the phone with the PC
Entering your own area code, activating/deactivating an
automatic area code for VoIP
On the base station, save the complete code (with international code) for the area
in which you are using the phone.
For VoIP calls you must generally always dial the area code – even for local calls. You
can save the need to dial the area code for local calls by setting your phone to prefix
this code for all VoIP calls made in the same local area (
local calls through VoIP option).
For calls made via VoIP, the area code entered is then prefixed to all numbers that
do not start with 0 – even when dialing numbers from the directory and other lists.
Exceptions: Phone numbers for which you have defined dialing plans and deacti-
vated the Use Area Codes option (
When making calls via the fixed line network, the area code entered is withheld, e.g.
when dialing using the Calls list (
