To set up dailing locations you will need:
• Country code (e.g. 1 for US, 65 for Singapore, etc).
• Area code (certain countries, e.g. Singapore and Hong Kong, may not have
area codes).
• Any numbers that you need to dial to access an external line.
You can edit the Dialing Patterns and Dialing Locations following the steps below.
Setting Dialing Patterns and Dailing Locations
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings, tap Control Panel, then double tap the
Communications folder.
2. Tap the Dialing tab.
3. Select the home or work dialing location as appropriate. You can also create a
new dialing connection by tapping the “New” button if you have different
locations with different access numbers from which you dial up to your ISP.
4. Enter your local area code. Leave this blank if the location has no local
area code.
5. Enter your country code e.g. 1 for US, 65 for Singapore.
6. Tap the Dialing Patterns button to edit the dialing patterns for local, long
distance and international calls. Dialing patterns allow you to specify how
calls will be dialed depending on their area and country codes. Each dialing
location (e.g. Work and Home) can have a different set of dialing patterns.
7. The local dialing pattern is used when the country code and area code of the
number dialed matches the country code and area code of the dialing location.
Normally it should be set to “G” or if a number is needed to access an external
line then that number followed by a comma followed by “G” (e.g. “9,G”). The
comma instructs the modem to pause after dialing the “9”.
8. The long distance dialing pattern is only used for countries that have area
codes. For countries without area codes such as Singapore and Hong Kong
it should be set identical to the Local dialing pattern. For countries where
the area codes are prefixed with a zero which is not used when a number is
called internationally the long distance dialing pattern should look like
“0FG” or “9,0FG” as per the local example. (Area codes should be entered
without zeros).
9. For international calls the dialing pattern should include the international
access code (e.g. 001 in Singapore) followed by a comma and then EFG.
