Motorola 9500 manual Using Pauses in Numbers, Enter Pauses in Numbers

Using Pauses in Numbers

Tip: You can store as many as 16 characters. A pause is equal to one character.

When you call automated systems, a recorded message prompts you for numbers such as PIN numbers and account numbers. You can store these numbers in the same memory location as the automated system’s access number. Separate the numbers with “pauses”—special characters that tell your phone to wait a few seconds before sending additional numbers—and store the string in the same way you would other numbers.
