Making calls with VoIP and the fixed network

Making an external call

External calls are those that are made via the public telephone network (fixed network) or the Internet (VoIP). You determine what type of connection you want to use when you dial.

Please note:

–You can make two parallel external calls on your base station (on two handsets): two calls via VoIP or one call each via VoIP and the fixed network.

–If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed network, you will also have to dial the area code for local calls (depending on the VoIP provider).

To avoid always having to enter the area code for local calls, you can also enter the area code in the configuration (with the Web configurator, see page 22). It will then be inserted automatically for local calls.
