Speed dial
As a shortcut is to establish connections using abbreviated dialing strings, also abbreviated number called. If the abbreviated dialing number is converted into a different call number in the switching network, the service feature abbreviated dialing or abbreviated address is also used . The speed dial, consisting of one, two or more digit numbers, is converted into a routable number sequence in order to reach the destination connection. Examples are speed dial numbers for SMS or those in your own mailbox. They differ from the three- or four-digit short numbers , so-called special numbers , which usually have their own, among other things, origin-dependent connection establishment , such as the emergency numbers 110 or 112 of the so-called 11 number range .
Abbreviated dialing numbers can also be implemented in terms of equipment. The abbreviated dialing is usually converted into a routable number in the calling terminal, for example the memory location number in the mobile radio device into the phone number stored there.
A distinction is to be made between speed dial numbers and extension numbers, which, due to their smaller numbering plan , can also have 3, 4 or 5 digits. In contrast, the speed dials of the Centrex and CUG services are real speed dialing services, since here the speed dialing is translated into the extension number of the telephone system to which the subscriber belongs.
Germany
- Blocking emergency number 116 116, emergency number for blocking EC and credit cards.
- In the German landline network, the number of the association " number against Kummer eV" has its own number of 11-Gasse (ie 116 111), at the same time it was decreed nationwide that in all public networks, the short code number "116 111" always to the same national number ( Special number) in the fixed network.
- The same applies to the uniform call for authorities planned in Germany . The number "115" is to become a national number in the German landline network. In the networks that do not have an 11-aisle, the abbreviated dialing "115" must be converted to the national number 115 accessible in the fixed network.
Austria
Speed dials between Austrian cities
From November 1, 1973 - starting with Vienna - Linz (997), followed one month later Linz - Vienna (92) - frequently used fixed network connections between Austrian cities were made accessible through the last 35 speed dials as an alternative to the standard area code. Long-distance transport facilities and trunk lines were relieved. The telephone user “got through better” (rarely received the tone “line busy”) and usually saved digits to be dialed. All speed dials began with the number "9", were mostly 2-digit, only 3-digit was "997" for Graz - Linz as well as Vienna - Linz, from 14 local networks in the greater Linz area you could even reach Linz with a single digit via "9" . None of the speed dials contained a "0". In order to be able to introduce these short codes, it was necessary that no subscriber numbers began with “9”.
Speed dials from Austrian local networks near the border to German local networks near the border
Between local networks close to the border there were four-digit area codes with which connections from Austria to Germany could be dialed without the international code "06" at the time and which were also charged with their own, much cheaper tariff than the international tariff.
End of the speed dial era
The era of speed dialing in Austria ended on December 31, 1996.
Speed dial 70 for Linz
If more than 70,000 connections are to be served in a local network when the first digits 0, 1 and 9 are reserved for network separation and special services, the system must be converted to the “million system” with six-digit connection numbers. Due to the backlog in the expansion of lines and telephone exchanges, between 1970 and 1981 over 100,000 Austrians waited for years to establish a connection. With the addition of a seventh digit (2, 3, 4 or 5), numerous (quarter) partial connections were assigned, in Linz even 200x8 eighth connections, unique in Austria.
The recommendation made by an international telephony organization to expand the capacity of the dialing number memory from 12 to 15 digits could not be followed quickly enough by the telephone administrations of some - especially Eastern European - countries. So that 7-digit Linz numbers could be reached from abroad, those of the large internationally active Linz steel group VÖEST (0) 7222 had to be shortened. From October 1, 1977, the three-digit area code (0) 732 was put into operation, the previous four-digit area code remained temporarily valid for two years. Without network elimination digits, +43 732 1234567 with 2 + 3 + 7 = 12 digits would fit into the old memory.
The technically possible shortening to a two-digit area code was not used in order not to go below the low three-digit Vienna area code of then "(0) 222" (today "(0) 1").
Graz was in a very similar situation and shortened its area code to (0) 316.
For international dial-up with twelve digits, the large steel group VÖEST - which received a three-digit short number, but had five-digit as well as four-digit extensions - only needed a two-digit area code for Linz. Only +43 70 585-12345 was 2 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 12 digits. This short code "(0) 70" for Linz was initially only valid for dialing in from abroad, only after 1997 in general (next to (0) 732). On May 12, 2014, the shortcut option (0) 70 ended.
Today, extensions in the Linz plant can be reached via the number +43 50 304 15-12345 via 14 digits, but this “private network 50 number” is still 585 as the “main number” in the Linz local network of Telekom.
After the abolition of the Linz short code (0) 70 had already been announced in 2004, the mayor of Linz also complained about the extension of its validity. Around 1995 the magistrate changed its connection from 2393 to the "same sounding" subscriber number 7070 (-0).
abuse
A number of speed dial combinations lead to chargeable " value-added services ". On the one hand, the short combination does not show how expensive the call will be; on the other hand, the providers of these often dubious services benefit from the fact that such digit sequences are occasionally dialed unintentionally ( pocket calling or butt dialing ) when the key lock of the cell phone is not active.
