Please note
u
You can conduct up to three separate external calls via your base station
(using different handsets): two calls via VoIP and one via the fixed line net-
work.
u
You can define dialling plans for certain numbers or area codes by deter-
mining the connection and therefore the billing method to be used (cost
control
) when these numbers are dialled.
u
Dialling with the directory (
redial list (
) saves you from repeatedly keying in phone num-
bers. You can modify or add to these numbers on a call-by-call basis.
u
If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line network, you may also have
to dial the area code for local calls (depending on the VoIP provider). You
can save yourself the time of dialling your own area code each time by
entering the area code in the configuration (
) and activating
the
Predial area code for local calls through VoIP
option
