Outgoing Call Prefix (#402)
Description
Related Features
This system option indicates whether users must dial a 0 (for operator-assisted
calls) or 1 (for direct-dial calls) before an area code when making long distance
calls, or just the area code and number. Outgoing Call Prefix should be set to
reflect the dialing pattern of your local phone company.
This option enables the system to distinguish between local and long distance
calls, and applies only if Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) for an extension is
set to Local Only. When Outgoing Call Prefix is set to 1, a long distance call is
one in which the first digit is 0 or 1. When Outgoing Call Prefix is set to 2, a long
distance call is one in which the second digit is 0 or 1.
Considerations
Most local phone companies require you to dial 1 before a long distance
number; therefore, Outgoing Call Prefix typically requires setting 1 (0 or 1
required before Area Code and Number)
Valid Entries
1 =
0 or 1 required before Area Code and Number ✔
