92 Section 2B: Using Your Device’s Phone Features

Setting Your Dialing Preferences

Dialing preferences let you add a prefix to your phone numbers. For example, you can

automatically dial a 1 before all 10-digit phone numbers you enter from Contacts. You can

also add a different prefix based on the length of the phone number.

1. Press Phone .

2. Press Menu .

3. Select Options, and then select Dial Preferences.

4. Set any one or more of the following options:

䡲 Dialing from North America formats phone numbers

using North American conventions (XXX-XXX-XXXX).

䡲 Always dial 1 in front of the area code adds a 1 in front of

10-digit phone numbers you dial from Contacts (see

“Dialing by Contact Name” on page 63). A 1 is not automatically entered if you dial

using the keyboard or the Dial Pad. This option is available only when Dialing from

North America is enabled.

䡲 International Prefix adds the specified prefix in front of international phone numbers;

in the U.S. and Canada, this prefix is 011. When you dial, the plus symbol (+)

preceding the phone number is replaced by this prefix.

䡲 To 7 digit numbers adds a prefix to 7-digit numbers. For example, enter your own

area code to automatically add your area code when you dial local numbers.

䡲 To 6/5/4 digit numbers adds a prefix to numbers with the specified number of digits.

For example, if all the phone numbers in your office begin with 555, followed by a

4-digit extension, you can select 4 and enter 555 as the prefix. When you want to

call a colleague, simply enter the colleague’s 4-digit extension. Your device

automatically dials 555 plus the 4-digit extension. You can also create contact

entries with just the extension number and then dial the number from your Contacts

list.

5. Select OK.
