Calling an IP address (provider-dependent)
You can also dial an IP address instead of a phone number using VoIP.
¤
Press the star key
*
to separate the sections of the IP address
(e.g., 149*246*122*28).
¤
If necessary, press the hash
#
key to attach the SIP port number of the person
you are calling to the IP address (e.g., 149*246*122*28#5060).
If your VoIP provider does not support the dialling of IP addresses, each part of the
address will be interpreted as a normal phone number.
Dialling emergency numbers
If no dialling plans for emergency numbers are preset on your telephone, you
should set dialling plans yourself. Assign them to a connection that you know sup-
ports emergency numbers. Calls to emergency numbers are always supported by
fixed lines.
Please note:
if no dialling plans are defined for emergency numbers and you have
programmed an automatic local area code, the code will also be prefixed to emer-
gency numbers as soon as they are dialled via a VoIP connection.
Displaying the phone number you are calling (COLP)
Prerequisites:

tion). You may need to activate COLP with the provider (ask your provider about
this).

tion).
For outgoing calls, the phone number of the connection on which the call is
received is displayed on the handset.
The displayed number may differ from the number you have dialled. Examples:
u
The called party has activated call divert.
u
The call is answered by another connection within a PABX system.
If there is an entry in the directory for this phone number, the corresponding name
will be displayed.
Please note
u
The actual number of the connection you have reached (or the assigned
name) is displayed instead of the called number during call swapping, con-
ference calls and consultation calls.
u
When the phone number is copied to the directory and the redial list, the
dialled number (not the displayed number) is copied.
