Some country codes aren't supported by the smart dialing feature. In the smart dialing options, you can also specify the main phone number for an organization that you call frequently so that you can quickly call a contact in that organization by dialing only the extension for the contact. If you add contacts from that organization to your contact list, when you add their phone numbers, you can type just the extensions instead of typing out the main phone number for the organization.
