Account Codes
Account Codes are codes you enter that help keep track of outside calls. There
are three types of Account Codes: Optional, Forced and Verifiable.
Optional Account Codes
With optional codes, the Account Codes you enter are solely for categorizing
your calls. For example, if you work in an accounting firm that must bill back
customers for time on the phone, Optional Account Codes are for you.
Forced Account Codes
Forced Account Codes also let you categorize calls, but you must enter one
before placing outgoing calls. If you don’t enter the code, you can’t place the
call. This ensures that calls don’t go out untracked.
Verifiable Account Codes
With Verifiable Account Codes, the system compares the user-dialed Account
Code entered with a pre-programmed list of Account Codes. If the user does
not dial an Account Code or dials an invalid Accound Code, the system will
not allow the call to go through.
Check with your Communications Manager to find out if your system uses
Account Codes -- and which codes you should enter. Account Codes can be
from 1-16 digits long, using 0-9 and #.
To enter an Account Code any time while on an outside call:
1. Press * + Account Code (1-16 digits) + *.
To enter an Account Code while placing an outside call:
1. Access trunk for outside call.
