Dialling using a pause
When you call an automated system, like a banking service,
you are required to enter a password or an account number.
Instead of manually entering the numbers each time, you can
enter the necessary DTMF tones separated by pauses before
dialling.
Note
: DTMF tones are the tones you hear when you press the
number keys. DTMF tones allow you to communicate with
computerised telephone systems, for example, voicemail
servers or telebanking systems.
1. Enter the phone number you want to dial, such as a bank’s
teleservice number.
2. Press repeatedly to insert a pause.
You can insert two types of pauses:
•
p
: inserts a pause of approximately two seconds
between numbers. The numbers following “p” are sent
automatically.
•
w
: inserts a manual pause between numbers. To send
numbers following “w,” you must press the
Send
soft
key.
3. Enter a number to be sent after the pause, such as your
account number, PIN, etc.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add more pauses and numbers, if
necessary.
5. Press to make a call.
6. After connecting, wait for a prompt from the system and
press at each prompt, if applicable.
The DTMF tones are sent.
