This object is used to provision prefix profiles, which define dial plans. Prefix profiles contain multiple matching pattern definitions used to determine the call type, nature of address, Prefix Profile indicator, and other attributes associated with the specified matching patterns. You can also use the screen to filter calls with an invalid phone type, strip out or retain prefix digits without using a DM/PM rule, or apply a DM/PM rule to the dialed number.
