Dialing and Saving Phone Numbers With
Pauses
You can dial or save phone numbers with pauses for use with
automated systems, such as voicemail or credit card billing
numbers.
There are two types of pauses available on your phone:
ⅷ Hard Pause sends the next set of numbers after you press
Send Tones (left softkey) from an onscreen popup. (This is
indicated with a
P within the number sequence.)
ⅷ 2sec Pause automatically sends the next set of numbers after
two seconds. (This is indicated with a
T within the number
sequence.)
To dial or save phone numbers with pauses:
1. Enter the phone number.
2. Press Options (right softkey) > Hard Pause or
2sec Pause.
3. Enter additional numbers.
4. Press to dial the number.
– or –
Press
Options (right softkey) > Save to save the number in
your Contacts.
Plus (+) Code Dialing
When placing international calls, you can use Plus Code Dialing to
automatically enter the international access code for your location
(for example, 011 for international calls placed from the United
States).
To make a call using Plus Code Dialing:
1. Press and hold until a “+” appears on your phone
display.
Tip
Creating a saved series of numbers with pauses is very
useful when entering data into an automated system. For
example, if accessing your bank information requires
dialing a toll-free number, followed by an account number
and then your PIN, you could place a two-second pause
after each group of numbers to ensure that they would be
read correctly.
Note
You can have multiple pauses in a phone number and
combine two-second and hard pauses.
Note
When dialing a number with a hard pause, press to
send the next set of numbers.
