Restrict calls

This feature allows you to restrict incoming and outgoing
calls. Outgoing calls are restricted from a list of
restrictions that you create yourself.

Restrict outgoing calls

If no restrictions have been defined in your phone, you
will notice only one option:

Add restriction allows you to create your own list of
outgoing call restrictions. The maximum number of call
restriction groups you can define is 10.

Once you have entered Add restriction and have added
at least one restriction, the following options will be
added:

Select allows you to select call restrictions from the
outgoing calls list.

Edit allows you to edit an existing outgoing call restriction.

Erase will erase any existing outgoing call restrictions.

Note: When calls are restricted, calls may be possible to the
emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g. 911 or
other official emergency numbers). However, Emergency key 9
may not operate depending on the type of restriction you
choose.
