Storing touch tone strings
Store touch tone strings the same way you store phone numbers
(see page 26).
You can store an entire digit sequence in your phone book and send it as
touch tones for frequently-used strings of numbers.
Storing touch tone strings with phone numbers

Enter the phone number (for example, your office voice mailbox).

Press ∗∗∗ (p) or ∗∗∗∗ (w).
See “Inserting punctuation symbols and special
characters (for storing numbers)” on page 23 for
details on “p” and “w” characters.
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.
