# How do I set up automatic area codes?

You can configure an automatic area code for your cloud phone system. If you dial a landline number without an area code, the predefined area code will be used automatically. This is especially useful for frequent local calls within a city.

**Important:** This feature only applies to landline calls. You still need to enter an area code when calling mobile numbers.
