Making and Receiving Phone Calls

You can also produce a
wait
character. Your phone dials the
digits preceding the wait character, waits for the call to connect,
then prompts you for confirmation before it sends the remaining
digit(s). To produce the wait character, press and hold * until
the pause character p appears, then press * again until the
wait character w appears
Pause—A Working Example.
Suppose, for example, you have a tone-based voicemail system
on 555-6911, with a mailbox number 1066 and password 2001.
You would dial as follows and then press Send N:
5556911p1066p2001
• The first part of the number (5556911) dials the voicemail
system.
• Next, the first pause produces a three-second delay (which
allows time to complete the connection).
• The phone then sends the tones for 1066 to select the
mailbox.
• The second pause produces another three-second delay.
• The phone sends the tones for 2001 as the password.
