Support for ALS

Alternate line service (ALS) allows you to have more than one line, and more than one phone number, to one SIM subscription. If you are not subscribed to ALS, these dialogues and settings are hidden.

Using ALS, you can select which line to use for outgoing calls. You can use the first line for any function, while the second line can be used for speech only.

Incoming calls can be received at both lines at any time. The name of the line is shown and the ring signal defined for the line is used.

To select a line for outgoing calls

The preset line is shown by the icon in the status bar. If you want to use the other line:

•With the Flip closed, press and select Switch to line 1 or Switch to line 2 depending on the previously preset line.

• With the Flip open, tap 2 and select Switch to line 1 or Switch to line 2 depending on the previously preset line.

Corporate phone services in P908

The P908 can be used as a corporate phone in an Ericsson MD110® or Business Phone® PBX, if this is equipped for mobile extensions.

To place calls to colleagues, use the internal extension numbers. When dialling an external number, you do not need to dial the external line prefix; it is added automatically. Dial the switchboard operator or corporate voicemail as from any other corporate phone.

It is recommended that when storing numbers in Contacts you use the international number format, starting with +. This also allows you to use the Contact card when you do not use the PBX, when you are abroad, and when you are sending SMS or MMS messages.

If you know what numbers and codes your PBX accepts, you can send these without the phone manipulating them. Start any number or command with a p. This is done by pressing and

holding the key. When storing such a number on a Contact card, it should be stored with a leasing p, and a command (to the PBX or for example to a phone bank) with a leading pc.

When using it at home, the call will still be dialled as an internal call via the PBX.

Note When travelling abroad, use your phone as a normal GSM phone, by clicking the PBX status bar icon and set the calling card to Off.
