# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** This feature only applies to landline calls. You still need to enter an area code when calling mobile numbers.
{% endhint %}

#### How to enable automatic area codes

1. Go to **My Telephony**, then select **Telephony** from the left-hand menu.
2. Choose the phone for which you want to configure the settings by clicking the three-dot icon.
3. Select **More settings**.
4. Here, you can enable or disable the **Automatic area code** feature.
5. You can also adjust the area code as needed by clicking the settings icon.
