DTMF Tones
DTMF tones can be sent during a call. These are often used to access voice mail, paging
and computerised home banking. For example, you may need to input a number to access
voice mail messages. A phone number may be stored in Phone Book with DTMF tones,
allowing the number to be dialed upon recall and the DTMF tones to be sent automatically.
