This feature is useful when you have

other areas.  
If it is a local call, then only the phone  
number of the caller is displayed during  
an incoming call or when you call the  
number from the call log. If it is a long  
distance call, then both the area code and  
phone number will be displayed in a  
proper format to be dialed out directly  
from the call log, or saved into the  
phonebook.  
This feature allows you to define a prefix  
number to be added to the beginning of a
