A Verifiable Account Code can have a toll restriction class of service. When an account code is
entered at a station, the system checks the toll restriction class of service associated with that
account code, and then determines if the call is authorized.
The Account Code button can be programmed on an electronic or digital telephone to facilitate
voluntary account code entry during conversations without interrupting the talk path. It can also be
used to enter Verified Account Codes to enable normally restricted stations to dial long distance
calls.
Note
The 911 emergency number and two other optional customer-designed numbers (up to
four digits long) can be assigned to bypass Forced Verified Account Code requirements.
Benefits
Account Codes control costs and ensure accurate billing to departments, clients, projects, or
individual employees. The advantage of using Account Codes for this purpose is that they register
on SMDR for tracking and reporting.
Forced and verified account codes can also be used in conjunction with Toll Restriction. Used this
way, they function as override codes or as traveling class of service codes.
