Dial an International Number
Plus Dialing allows you to press and hold the star (*) key for at least 1 second to insert a plus (+) sign as the
first digit in a phone number for international dialing. The plus sign applies only for on-hook or off-hook
calling.
When you see phone numbers with the + sign in them, you can select and dial the entry without having to add
digits for international calls.
Procedure
Step 1
Press and hold star (*) for at least 1 second.
The plus (+) sign displays as the first digit in the phone number. The corresponding tone stops to indicate that
the * has changed to a + sign. You can only hear the tone in off-hook state.
