Enable international dialing
The international dialing preference makes it easy to make calls to another
country, for example, to call home when you are traveling abroad. When
you make a call, your phone automatically adds the dialing prefix for the
country you are calling.Suppose you select the U.S. or Canada as the
country for your international dialing preference. Your phone adds “+1” if
you dial a 10-digit U.S. or Canadian number. It adds “+1” and your phone's
area code if you dial a 7-digit US or Canadian number.

Dialing tones, also known as DTMF tones, are the tones that play when you
press a key to dial. A short tone plays briefly and then stops, no matter how
long you press the key. A long tone plays until you release the key.

Example: A complete phone number in your company’s phone system has
11 numbers, for example, 1-555-408-1122. When dialing from a phone that’s
part of the system, you need to dial only the last five digits (81122). When
you create a dialing shortcut on your phone, you select “5 digit numbers” for
When I Dial and enter “155540” in Use This Dialing Prefix. So when you
dial your co-worker’s five-digit extension (51122), your phone automatically
dials the whole number: 1-555-408-1122.

in your home network and while roaming. For example, you can set options
to prevent placing a call or making a data connection while roaming, so that
you avoid extra charges.
