Making cost-effective calls

Sign up with a network provider who offers particularly low-cost call rates (call-by-call). You can use the speed dial list to manage your call-by-call numbers.

You manage entries in the speed dial list in the same way as entries in the directory by opening the speed dial list with the C key instead of the directory. You will find instructions on storing, editing and deleting entries starting on page 20.

Automatic network provider preselection

You can specify a call-by-call number (preselection number) that will be automatically placed in front of certain numbers when you dial them. The numbers that are dialled with this preselection number can be specified in two lists.

◆List with preselection: In this list you specify the prefixes or the first digits of prefixes with which you wish the preselection number to be used. For example, if you enter "08" in this list, then all numbers beginning with 08 will be automatically dialled with the preselection number.

◆List without preselection: In this list you specify the "exception to the rule". The "rule" is what you specified in the "list with preselection". For example, if you entered "08" in the list with preselection and "081" in the list without preselection, then only numbers that begin with 080, 082,..., 089 will be automatically dialled with the preselection number. The preselection number will not be used with 081xxxxx numbers.
