Classes of service allow you to control which numbers telephones may call. The called number is matched against the prefixes in the class of service, and the longest matching prefix is used. For example, calls to international numbers can be barred except for a single number which is specifically permitted. Alternatively, a single number can be barred if an employee is making unauthorised calls to it.
