Account Codes 49
To place an outgoing call, dial the outbound number in either of the
following ways:
■
Outbound # + Account code + #
■
Feature + 888 + Account Code + # + Outbound number
In the first instance, you might not know or remember that an account
code is necessary and dial only the outbound number. In this case, the
telephone prompts you to enter an account code after a short period of
time.
If the account code is valid , the Feature Success tone plays and the system
routes the call.
If the account code is invalid :
■
On a telephone with a display panel, the display panel displays the
invalid account code and prompts you to enter the account code
again. After three unsuccessful attempts to enter the account code,
you must start over by reentering the outbound number and account
code.
■
On a phone without a display panel, the telephone plays the Feature
Error tone and you must reenter the entire digit sequence.
The system does not require account codes for emergency calls, such as
911, and immediately routes the calls.
During the call, you can enter another valid account code using the
following format:
F + 888 + Accoun #
You can enter multiple account codes during a call; the most recently
entered account code overrides the previously entered account code. In
Verified account code mode, the newest account code only overrides the
existing account code if it has been verified.
The account code and account name information is available in the Call
Detail Reporting (CDR) data. To download the NBX Call Reports software,

Enforcing account codes is applicable for outgoing external calls only.
