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 when you
press . (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.
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.
