Defining dialling plans – cost control
You can define dialling plans to reduce costs:
u
You can define the line (one of your VoIP accounts, the fixed line network)
through 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 con-
nection.
u
You can block specific numbers, i.e. your phone will not establish a connection
to these numbers (e.g. 09 numbers).
These dialling plans apply to all registered handsets. The settings for the default
line (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:
u
Dial the number with a line suffix (e.g. 123456789#3,
u
Before entering the number, define another connection type by pressing the
§Fxd.Ln.§
If, for example, you press
network, even if the dialling plan states that a VoIP connection should be used.
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 con-
nection should be used specifically for these countries/locations, e.g. a dialling
plan for the Phone Number "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 Phone Number field.
