The application also allows companies to set up an abbreviated dialing feature so that workers can be reached at their desk or mobile phone via the same two-to-five digit extension number; to establish single or multiple calling zones with special rating on both fixed and wireless service as well as to customize call restrictions to reduce or eliminate unauthorized calls on company-owned wireless devices.
