Abbreviated Dialing
Allows you to dial frequently called or emergency numbers with just a few button presses instead of dialing the entire number one digit at a time. You can use Abbreviated Dialing to dial both internal and external numbers of up to 36 digits.

In these countries, if you have a Lucent Technologies DCP or BRI telephone, DEFINITY ECS allows you to see the ongoing cost of your outgoing call on your telephone display while the call is in progress.
