Making an external call
External calls are calls made via the public telephone network (fixed line network or mobile
network) and via the Internet (VoIP).
To make an external call, you need to define one of the phone connections as a send connection.
You have the following options:
u Assign a connection to the handset as a send connection permanently (
¢ page 55).
If necessary, you can use a "fallback" connection via a display key (
¢ page 48).
u Select a send connection on the handset each time you make a call.
Permanently assigned send connection
¤ Enter the number. ¤ Press the Talk key c briefly. The number is dialled.
Or:
¤ Press and hold the Talk key c. ¤ qSelect a connection. ¤ Dial / w ¤ Enter number. The
number is dialled approximately 3.5 seconds after the last digit is entered.
Note
You can make up to three external calls at the same time via your base, depending on the
quality of your DSL connection.
Notes
u If a dialling plan has been defined for the dialled phone number (¢ page 110), then the
connection specified in the dialling plan will be used to establish the connection instead
of the send connection. If the phone number is blocked by a dialling plan, it will not be
dialled. Not possible is displayed.
u If you use VoIP to make a call to the fixed line network, you may also have to dial the area
code for local calls (depending on the provider). You can avoid having to dial your own
area code by entering it in the configuration and activating the Predial area code for
local calls via VoIP option (see Web configurator).
u You have activated the Automatic Fallback to Fixed Line option with the Web
configurator. If an attempt to make a call via a VoIP connection fails, the phone
automatically attempts to establish the connection via the fixed line network.
u Gigaset.net numbers ending with the suffix #9 are automatically dialled via the
Gigaset.net connection. The calls are free of charge (
¢ page 35).
