Nokia 2160 manual Sending Individual Touch Tones, Sending Strings of Touch Tones

9. Touch Tones

Your phone is a “Touch Tone” phone, meaning that it creates certain sounds when you press the keys. These sounds can be used for many automated, over- the-phone services such as checking your bank balance, using your voice mailbox options, and even checking airplane arrival and departure times.

Touch Tones are called “DTMF” (Dual Tone Multifrequency) tones in the phone.

Sending Individual Touch Tones

Press keys during call.

Touch Tones can be used only when a call is active. You would use the Individual Touch Tone feature when, for example, you are prompted to “press 1 and then the star (*) button”. You would simply press 1 *.

Note: Individual Touch Tones can be sent only if Menu 4 3 is not set to Off. Menu 4 3 is described in this section.

You can transmit Touch Tones one by one by pressing the keypad during a call. Additionally, you can store a whole digit sequence in a memory location and send it as Touch Tones. You could use this for frequently-used strings of numbers, such as your bank account number.

The phone sends (as Touch Tones) the digits that are currently on the display. You may also press and hold left F(Menu) then press ▼ to Send DTMF then left F (OK) then left F(Quit) to send a string of Touch Tones.

To store a Touch Tone string

Store Touch Tone strings the same way as you store phone numbers.
