Speed dial

Speed ​​Dial is to establish connections using abbreviated dialing strings, also called speed dial number. If the speed dial number implemented in the switching network to another phone number, so we also speak of the service feature abbreviated dialing or abbreviated address. Here, the speed dial, consisting converted from one-, two - or multi-digit number sign in a routable number sequence, so as to achieve the target port. Examples include speed dial numbers for SMS or own mailbox. It differs from the three - or four-digit short numbers, so-called special numbers that have usually a private, including origin -dependent connection, such as the emergency numbers 110 or 112 of the so-called 11- number range.

Speed ​​dial numbers can also be realized device technology. The Speed ​​Dial on the calling terminal is usually implemented in a routable number, for example, in the mobile device, the memory location number in the phone number stored there.

A distinction must shortcodes also of extension numbers, because of their smaller numbering plan, also often 3 - or may be 5 digits - 4. In contrast, the speed dials of Centrex and CUG services are real speed-dial services, since the speed dial is translated into the extension number of the telephone system to which the subscriber belongs.

Germany

• In the German fixed network, the telephone number of the " Nummer gegen Kummer eV " its own telephone number of the 11 - lane (ie 116 111 ), the same was nationwide decreed that in all public networks, the speed dial number " 116 111 " always on sameness national number ( special telephone number ) is to be implemented in the fixed network.
• The same applies in the cases provided for in Germany Unified Behördenruf. The number " 115 " should be a national number in German landline. In the networks that do not have 11- lane, needs to be implemented on the achievable in the fixed network national number 115 speed dial " 115 ".

Austria

Shortcuts between Austrian cities

Successively commonly used fixed- relations between Austrian cities made ​​alternatively by last 35 speed dials to the standard code available - from 1 November 1973 - starting with Vienna -Linz (997 ), a month later, Linz- Vienna (92). Long-distance transport facilities and cable bundles were relieved. The phone users " was better by" ( received less frequently the tone marks "Line busy " ") and usually saved himself digits to dial. All shortcuts began with the digit" 9 ", were mostly 2-digit, 3-digit was only " 997 " both for Graz -Linz and Vienna -Linz, from 14 local networks in the Linz area was reached Linz even single digits over "9." none of the shortcuts contained a "0." in order to introduce these shortcuts, it was necessary that no participant numbers "9" started.

Short elections Austrian border to border German local networks

Between border local networks there were four -digit area codes with those of Austria to Germany compounds without the then country code "06" could be chosen and which were also provided with its own much better deal, billed as the international rate.

Speed ​​Dial 70 for Linz

If for network excretion and special services more than 70,000 connections to be served in a local network with reservation of initial digits 0, 1 and 9, must be converted to the " million system " with six -digit port numbers. Because residue during removal of lines and automatic exchanges waited 1970-1981 respectively over 100,000 Austrians under certain circumstances for years to make a terminal. So by adding a 7th digit (2, 3, 4 or 5) numerous (quarter ) part connections have been established, even in Linz 200x8 octant conclusions, unique in Austria.

Could expand to the undertaking given by an international organization telephony recommendation, the capacity of the Wählnummernspeicher from 12 to 15 digits telephone administrations of many - particularly Eastern European - countries do not follow quickly enough. This 7-digit numbers were reached in Linz from abroad, had to be cut of the major internationally active Linzer steel group VÖEST ( 0) 7222. From 1 October 1977 to three places abridged code ( 0) was taken 732 in operation, the current four-digit code remained transitional still valid for two years. Without net excretion digits fit 43 732 1234567 2 3 7 = 12 points in the old memory.

The technically possible reduction to a two -digit code was not used to the low three-digit code of Vienna at that time "(0 ) 222 " (today "(0 ) 1") not to fall short.

Graz was in a very similar situation and reduced its code on ( 0) 316

For international Einwählbarkeit with twelve points needed by the large steel group VÖEST - the true received a three-digit Speed ​​number, but had besides four-digit even five-digit extensions - a two -digit code for Linz. Only 43 70 585-1234 5 was 2 2 3 5 = 12 digits. This speed dial "(0 ) 70 " Linz was initially given only for dialing from abroad, only after 1997 generally (next ( 0) 732 ). By May 12, 2014 ends the short option (0 ) 70

Today extensions at the Linz on the number 43 50 304 15-1234 5 so via 14 stations can be reached, behind this " private network number 50 " but still plugged the 585 as the "main number" in Linz local network of Telekom.

After the abolition of Linz short code ( 0) was 70 already announced in 2004, complaining that the Mayor of the City of Linz, the extension of their validity. Around 1995, the magistrate had changed its lead from earlier in 2393 " sound the same " on the subscriber number 7070 ( -0 ).
