Setting up Cost-effective calling

Using the Internet (VoIP) is the preferred cost-effective way of making calls.

You can also use your phone's cost control function for calls to fixed line or cel-

lular phone networks. Open accounts with various VoIP providers who offer

favorable rates for calls to other networks. In the phone configuration, define

the most cost-effective VoIP connection (account), e.g. for specific regional,

national or cellular network prefixes, to be used when calls are made (

Dialling

Plans

£ Page 172). Or define the VoIP connection to be used when dialing the

number (dialing with line suffix, £

Page 47).

If you are using your fixed line network to make a call, choose a network pro-

vider that offers particularly favorable rates (call-by-call). You can manage call-

by-call numbers in the Quick list.

Linking a call-by-call number to a number

You can prefix a network provider's number ("chaining") to numbers dialed via

a fixed line network.

C Open the Quick list.

s Select entry (call-by-call number).

§Options§ Press the Display key.

Display Number

Select and press §OK§.

~ / s Enter number or select a number from the directory (£ Page 74).

c Press the Talk key (briefly/press and hold) so that the number is

dialed via the fixed line network. Both numbers are dialed.

Displaying the call duration

The duration of each call appears in the display for calls made via a fixed line

network and VoIP

u During the conversation,

u Until about three seconds after the call has ended if you do not replace the

handset in the charging cradle.

Please note

To enable the linked number to be dialed via the fixed line network, you can

also append the line suffix #0 (for the fixed line network) to the numbers. Or

you can define appropriate rules for call-by-call numbers (

Page 172).

Please note

The actual duration of the call can vary from that shown by a few seconds.
