Setting Area Code Toll Definitions
The Area Codes window provides for setting exceptions to toll call rule
standards regarding area codes and prefixes. To use a common example,
the system treats calls that begin with 1 as long distance toll calls. You can
use the Area Codes window to specify treatment of 800 and 888 numbers
as free calls, This configuration enables the system to properly handle such
numbers.
You can set up three types of exceptions, which are explained in more
detail in the window itself.
• Local Call Definition. Calls that begin with 1 but are free (e.g., 800)
• 10 Digit Dialing. Local calls that require dialing area codes but do not
require dialing 1 first.
• 1 + 10 Digit Dialing. Calls within the home area code that require 1 +
Area Code + Number.
