Controlling tone-based services
You can use your phone for phone banking services or
other tone-based services that use DTMF (Dual Tone
Multi Frequency).
You can send tones during a call as follows:
Press the keypad keys during an active call.
Include a tone sequence when dialing.
Use digit sequences stored in Contacts entries. See
Adding a DTMF tone sequence on page 60.
To make it easier to use phone services, you can store
tone sequences in fields in Contacts. Each tone sequence
must start with a
p and end with a space.
Note: You should not store any secret personal codes in
your phone, in case it gets stolen or lost.
One way to store a tone sequence in Contacts is that you
make, for example, a banking call and use the
Copy
option in
Phone and the Paste option in Contacts.
To include a 3-second pause in a tone sequence, use the
letter p by pressing and holding with the flip
closed. Use as many
p:s in a row as required.
Tip Call your bank’s service number and time the length
of the spoken instructions, so that you know how long the
pauses you include in your tone sequence should be.
Voice control
The voice control feature lets you manage calls by using
your voice. With Voice answer you can use words
recorded for “answer” and “busy” to answer, or to send
a busy tone to an incoming call. With Voice dialing, you
can make a call by saying a contact’s name.
A ‘Magic word’ is used to activate the Voice dialing, to
ensure that the phone does not call anybody whose name
has just been mentioned by chance. (To read more about
the Magic word, see Voice control on page 116). You can
activate the Voice dialing feature in any of the following
ways:
Say the ‘Magic word’ (only supported when a
regular headset or a car kit is attached to the phone).
Press and hold the call button on a headset, or press
the button on a Bluetooth headset.
Press and hold the Jog Dial from the standby view
(also supported when no equipment is attached to
the phone).
To make a call, wait for the tone to finish, and then say
the voice command linked to the contact you want to
call. For information about settings, see Voice control on
page 116.
