Default Country and Area Codes

Vine uses the Default Country and Area codes to build phone numbers to be dialed from those stored in your database.

Desk Phone Settings

• Select Line. Choose a TAPI phone (or the name of its driver) from this list In lists objects are represented by small icons and object names. Icons help you to recognize object types. Press a keyboard character (a letter or a digit) to jump to the list item that starts from this character. The first matching item will be chosen, counting from the top of the list..

• Line out prefix. This prefix is added to the number in Vine. This permits the switchboard to differentiate inter-office calls from those directed out of the office. Phone numbers which have less than 5 digits or include special symbols (‘*’,’#’) are considered to be internal and this prefix is not added to such numbers.

• International call prefix. If the phone number starts with the “+” prefix and does not include the default country code, Vine replaces "+" with the international call prefix.
