3Under Dialing Shortcuts, tap Add a number.
4 Set the following:
When I Dial: Tap this field and select the number of digits you need
to enter to have your device add a dialing prefix.
Use This Dialing Prefix: Enter the prefix to be added at the
beginning of the dialed number. The combination of prefix and
digits you enter must add up to a complete phone number.
5Tap Done.
Example: A complete phone number in your company’s phone system has
11 numbers, for example, 1-408-555-1122. When dialing from a phone
that’s part of the system, you need to dial only the last five digits (51122).
When you create a dialing shortcut on your device, you select “5 digit
numbers” for When I Dial and enter “140855” in Use This Dialing Prefix.
So when you dial your co-worker’s five-digit extension (51122), your
device automatically dials the whole number: 1-408-555-1122.
Set your dialing method
If you have both a Skype account and a connected smartphone (see
Create a Skype account in Phone & Video Calls or Sign in to a Skype

you can select to be prompted for the account to use each time you make
a call.
