Cost-saving Connections with Call by Call
16 FRITZ! – 3 FRITZ! in Brief
Cost-saving Connections with Call by Call
The “Call by Call” page allows you to select the cheapest tele-
phone carrier for each connection individually, just as you can
when dialing a telephone. This allows you to save connection
costs with the FRITZ! modules. The “Call by Call” page is avail-
able in the modules FRITZ!fax, FRITZ!data and FRITZ!fon.
Settings on the “Call by Call” page affect all FRITZ! modules.
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the “Use carrier prefix” option.
2. Once this option is active, designate one carrier for long-
distance connections and one for local connections.
3. The “Area codes” section allows you to define which calls
are local. This determines which area codes FRITZ! dials
through your long-distance carrier, and which are dialed
through the local carrier.
4. Here you also have the opportunity to update the list of
telephone carriers to ensure that the most economical
carrier for your needs is always included.
For further instructions on FRITZ! settings, access the Online
Help from any module using the “F1” key.
3.2 FRITZ!web Quick Start
FRITZ!web facilitates simple dial-up Internet access. Thanks to
channel bundling and data compression, Internet connections
with extremely high data transmission speeds can be estab-
lished.
Setting up an Internet Connection
The first time you start FRITZ!web, you are prompted to set up
your default Internet connection. The default connection
should be to the Internet Service Provider you use most often.
The “Manage Internet Connections” command in the context
menu allows you to configure additional connections and
schedules for the connections at any time.
