Calling Within My Home Area Code
• Home Area Code – Set this to the Area code where the phone is located. This will
be used by Net Phone to determine which dialed calls are within your home area
code and when searching a contact manager (reverse screen-pop) the dialed
number will need the area code included, i.e. Microsoft Outlook. This is a
duplicate of the entry to the one made in the Dialing Tab, thus the value entered
previously will show here.
• All Home Area Code Numbers Local? – Select either All Calls in my Area Code or
only Calls to these Office Codes.
• Local Office Codes – This entry is only presented if you chose Call to these Office
Codes in the previous step. The pull down listing shows the exchange codes
(prefix codes) that are considered to be a local call from your location. Click the C
button to display the "Change Dial Rules" screen.
• To Add Local Prefix Codes – Enter the prefix code and click Add. The wild
card character ‘#’ can be entered at the end of a prefix code entry to represent a
range of codes. For example, 75# would represent all codes 750 to 759 and 7##
would represent codes 700 to 799.
• To Delete Local Prefix Codes – Highlight a prefix entry and click Delete
button. The delete button removes the entire entry from the list, thus if the
entry has a wild card, then it removes all codes represented by the wild card
character.
• To Delete a Specific Prefix Code – To delete one prefix code that is part of a
range of codes entered using a wild card character, enter the prefix code to be
considered not local in the Long Distance box and click Add. For example, if
prefix code 755 is long distance but all other 75# codes are local, first enter 75#
into the local list and the add 755 as Long Distance – the resulting local list will
be 750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 756, 757, 758 and 759.
• Dial Area Code on Local Calls – Enable this feature in areas, such as Atlanta,
where you must always dial the full 10-digit phone number (include the area code)
even when the call is local. Most areas of the US, local calls do not include the
area code and dial only 7 digit numbers for local calls. Any number dialed from
another program or hot key dialing will be down to its base 7 digits by removing
the Home Area Code before it is dialed.
• Add+1 – Check the box if you need to dial a leading 1 before the number for calls
within your Home Area Code.
• Dial Area Code Plus the Number – Check the box when the home area code is also
to be dialed.
