I'm being asked to enter a code while making a call. Why?

Your AT&T IP Flexible Reach Group or Enterprise Administrator has assigned you to authorization codes or account codes. These are codes you enter when making a call outside your group. For more information about the specific codes you're assigned to, contact your Group Administrator.

 

For more information, see:

 

What is the difference between mandatory and optional account codes?

If you're assigned to the Mandatory Account Code service, you must enter an account code when making all calls outside your group.

 

If you're assigned to the Optional Account Code service, you can enter an account code when making a call outside your group, but it's not required.

 

What are account codes used for?

Account codes track specific calls associated with certain accounts.

 

What are authorization codes used for?

Authorization codes are used to manage outbound calls. If authorization codes have been provisioned for a group, everyone in the group must enter their authorization code when making a call (except for emergency or repair calls) outside the group.

 

For more information, see View Your Outbound Call Features.

 

How do I know what account or authorization code to use when making a call?

If you're prompted to enter an account or authorization code, but you don't know the code number, contact your Group Administrator.

 

For more information, see:

 

The system blocked my call. Why can't I make this call?

If you're unable to make a certain call, your Enterprise or Group Administrator has likely blocked that type of call type in your outbound dial restrictions.

 

For more information, see View Your Outbound Call Features.

 

 

What are dial restrictions, and how do they work?

Dial restrictions are limits that Enterprise or Group Administrators can put on a group or individual's outgoing calls.

 

Dial restrictions block or allow certain types of call, such as calls to international or toll-free numbers. Dial restrictions can also require an authorization code for certain types of outgoing calls.
