Storing touch tone strings
Touch tone strings can be used for sending and
receiving information with your phone. For example,
you can store your office voice mailbox number, along
with your password for easy access to your messages.
Store touch tone strings the same way you store
phone numbers (
see page 50
).
You can store a whole digit sequence in your phone
book and send it as touch tones for frequently-used
strings of numbers.

When you dial this number, your phone first dials the
phone number, then waits (because of the “w”
character) for you to press
Send
. Your phone then
sends your password.
If you include a “p” character instead of a “w”, your
phone pauses for 2.5 seconds, then automatically
sends your password as touch tones.
