Placing Calls
Once the MTA is set up and you have dial tone, you will be able to place and
receive calls.
NOTE: If you have set up your MTA, but you do not hear a dial
tone, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Guide.
Understanding Local Dial Plans
Each VoiceLine account is assigned a Dial Plan Country. This determines the
numbering scheme you will dial to make calls. For example, if the U.S. is your
Dial Plan Country, you should dial as though you are in the United States, even if
you are in another country.
Making Calls
To make a call, pick up your telephone handset and dial using your telephone
keypad.
CALLING WITHIN YOUR AREA CODE (USING A U.S. DIAL PLAN)
Dial a local number that is in the same area code as your Primary VoiceLine
telephone number using 7-digit dialing.
Dial the local 7-digit phone number.
For example, if your Primary VoiceLine phone number has a 201 area code and
the local phone number you would like to call is 201-555-9999, dial 5559999.
CALLING WITHIN NORTH AMERICA (USING A U.S. DIAL PLAN)
Dial: 1 + area code + local phone number.
For example, if the area code is 212 and the local number is 555-8888, dial:
12125558888.
CALLING INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS (USING A U.S. DIAL PLAN)
Dial: 011 + country code + area code + local phone number.
For example, if the country code is 99, the city code is 77, and the local number
is 555-8888, dial: 01199775558888.
NOTE: Calls outside of the calling plan area are charged a perminute rate based on the destination you are calling. Please
login to your Online Account Center for specific rates. For Web
site information, refer to the Managing Your Account at the
Online Account Center section on page 8.
If you are unable to make calls, please refer to the Troubleshooting section on
page 9.
