Dialing rules are located in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionTelephonyCountry List.
For each configured country, the international country prefix sub-key contains information about the rules. For the United States, prefix 1, the Value Names and data values are:
Value Name | Data Type | Data Value |
|---|---|---|
Name | REG_SZ | United States |
NameResourceId | REG_DWORD | 00006979 |
CountryCode | REG_DWORD | 00000001 |
SameAreaRule | REG_SZ | G |
LongDistanceRule | REG_SZ | N1FG |
InternationalRule | REG_SZ | S011EFG |
You may change the InternationalRule and LongDistanceRule data values, using the following codes:
0-9 | Numbers to be dialed. |
|---|---|
ABCD | Characters to be dialed (tone dialing only, used for special control on some phone systems). |
E | Dial the country code. |
F | Dial the area code (city code). |
G | Dial the local phone number. |
H | Dial the card number. |
* # | Characters to be dialed (tone dialing only). |
T | Subsequent numbers are to be tone dialed. |
P | Subsequent numbers are to be pulse dialed. |
, | Pause for a fixed time. |
! | Flash (half-second on-hook, half-second off-hook). |
W | Wait for a second dial tone. |
@ | Wait for quiet answer (ring-back followed by five seconds of silence). |
$ | Wait for calling card prompt tone. |
? | Suspend dialing until user provides input. |
L | Mandatory long-distance carrier. |
M | Mandatory international carrier. |
N | Optional long-distance carrier. |
S | Optional international carrier. |
NOTE: See Windows XP Help and Support. Type dialing rules into the Search box and press Enter.
