How get rid of digits that the phone system prefixed to the number dialled.

If you are seeing numbers (generally beginning with 1400) prefixed to the number you dialled, then these are numbers that your PABX has added to so can be billed through a specific organisation. These prefix numbers however, will interfere with MonTel's ability to look up numbers in the client database.

You can make MonTel aware of up to 16 of these (you are VERY unlikely to be using more) by setting TrimPrefix to a list of comma separated numbers. If you want to prevent the prefix from being displayed (which is probably a good idea then use DoNotDisplayTrimedPrefix = 1). For example:

[Phone]

TrimPrefix = 1411,1422

DoNotDisplayTrimedPrefix = 1

If you want to check which numbers are being used the following list may be of some help. This is a snap shot taken on the 16th of January 2001 of the current allocations of the pre selection override.
