Other countries, like Italy, include the leading zero in the area code even when being dialed into from outside
the country. This means that the area codes in the Italian ISDN zones must include the leading zero. An
example of a valid number is +39 02 12345678.

example of a valid number is +39 02 12345678.
■
There are also countries, such as Switzerland, that include the area code with the leading zero when dialing
within an area code and when dialing within the country, but remove the leading zero when being dialed into
from outside the country. Cisco TMS is configured to recognize this, which means that the area code for ISDN
zones in Switzerland should only include the area code without the leading zero. For example: +41 33
1234567 and 033 1234567.

Creating area Code Rules
Area code rules are typically added to ISDN zones used in the US to set up 10-digit dialing and area code overlays.
Area code rules determine how ISDN numbers are dialed from one area code (the area code set for the location) to
other area codes.
Area code rules determine how ISDN numbers are dialed from one area code (the area code set for the location) to
other area codes.
In a US phone number, for example +1 (123) 456-7890, the area code consists of the digits in brackets (123), and the
prefix consists of the digits 456 (in this example).
