Definition

Fax extension number.

Use

If the fax number comprises a company phone number and an extension, you should enter the extension here.

Procedure

Enter the extension.

The following rules apply for the format of telephone and fax numbers:

  • The length of the entries in the field Telephone and Extension (Fax and Extension) cannot be more than 24 characters in total.
  • Leading spaces are not allowed in the field Telephone or Fax or in the field Extension.
  • Valid characters are:
    • Numbers (0123456789)
    • Letters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
    • Following other characters: /, (, ), - *, # and " " (space), but not as a leading space.
  • If an + is entered as the first character, the system checks whether the specified number starts with a country code. If so, a warning message is displayed because the country code is automatically determined by the system and should not be stored in the Telephone number (Fax number) field.
  • If an & is entered as the first character, the automatic check and formatting of the telephone number (fax number), as well as the determination of the country code, is suppressed.

Example

Enter the following for the number "01234/567-0":
Fax: 01234/567
Extension: 0

Enter the following for the number "01234/567-891":
Fax: 01234/567
Extension: 891

For the number "012-345-678" (678 as extension) enter the following:
Fax: 012-345
Extension: 678

In the following cases, enter the complete number (without country dialing code) in the field Fax:

  • No part of the number can be considered as an extension.
  • You are not sure which part of the number can be considered as an extension.
