On mine (original Fritz!Box Fon, no wireless) it's in Settings > Telephony[color=blue]
> Internet Telephony. There you will find a list of the configured VoIP[/color]
numbers, click on edit for the one you want and in the following screen
there are various options. One is "Use Area Code" where you put a tick,
then the code in the next box (without the initial 0). On my London number
this allows me to dial the 8 local digits without dialling 020.

Be warned though that doing this removes the ability to dial a SIP number
on your provider directly. For example on Sipgate I can't dial another
Sipgate number directly using the 7 digit SIP ID, I have to dial the PSTN
number. It's still a free call, but something to remember if you're used
to dialling SIP ID's.
