Making cost-effective
calls
Make phone calls through a network pro-
vider who offers cheap rates (call-by-call) or
have the charges displayed after the call
(ISDN only).
Using the Internet (VoIP) is the preferred
cost-effective way of making calls.
Defining dialling plans
You can also use your phone's cost control
function for calls to fixed line or mobile net-
works. In addition to your fixed line/ISDN
connection, you can open accounts with
various VoIP providers offering favourable
rates for calls to other networks. In the
phone configuration, define the best
connections (account), e.g., for specific
regional, national and mobile network
codes, to be used when calls are made
