# How do I set up automatic area codes?

How to configure automatic area codes for local landline calls in your sipgate cloud phone system.

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.
