Example
A Swedish phone number in Stockholm has a number layout that looks like this:
Country code (+46); Area code (08); local number (12345678)
The dialing pattern then needs to be like this:
n
From within Stockholm: only dial the local number 12345678
n
From Gothenburg (within the country, outside the area code): dial 08 12345678
n
From outside of Sweden: dial: +46 8 12345678
The 0 in front of 8 (in the area code) has to be removed when dialing this number from outside the country.
This is therefore seen as a prefix to dial between area codes rather than part of the area code itself.
This is therefore seen as a prefix to dial between area codes rather than part of the area code itself.
The systems should only be configured with the local ISDN number: 12345678, but with the correct area and
country code in the ISDN Zone. In the ISDN Zone the area code should be stored as just 8, since Cisco TMS
will add a 0 in front of it when dialing between Swedish area codes, and add +46 when dialing from outside
Sweden.
country code in the ISDN Zone. In the ISDN Zone the area code should be stored as just 8, since Cisco TMS
will add a 0 in front of it when dialing between Swedish area codes, and add +46 when dialing from outside
Sweden.
There are some exceptions to these rules, but Cisco TMS is configured to implement these exceptions:
n
Some countries, like Norway, do not use area codes; the area code field in the ISDN zones in these
countries should therefore be left empty. An example of a valid number is +47 12345678.
