Issues Dialling Local Numbers

If you're experiencing an issue on your business VoIP where you can't dial local numbers (8 digits), but can dial all other numbers, please setup one of the following options. 

Setting Caller ID

Our voice routers will use the first 2 digits of your Caller ID to determine your location.

To set your callerID, please login to VoIP Commander (http://voip.controlnetworks.com.au) with your Customer Portal username and password. Once in, please select the Devices tab and click Edit Details for the device you wish to alter.

Please note, if you set your caller ID to private, you will need to set a prefix rule on your endpoint (if applicable), or simply dial the full number including area code.

Static Setting

Should you wish not to present a caller ID, you can statically set your local prefix through the interface. 

To set your prefix, please login to VoIP Commander (http://voip.controlnetworks.com.au) with your Customer Portal username and password. Once in, please select the Devices tab and click Edit Details for the device you wish to alter.
