Motorola i690 manual Creating Pauses and Waits, International Numbers

Creating Pauses and Waits

When storing a number, you can program your phone to pause or wait between digits while dialing. A pause makes your phone pause for 3 seconds before dialing further. A wait makes your phone wait for your response before dialing further.

This feature is useful when using voice mail or other automated phone systems that require you to dial a phone number and then enter an access number.

To program a pause:

Press and hold * until the letter P appears. The P represents a 3-second pause.

If you store 17035551235P1234, when you select this number and make a call, your phone dials the first 11 digits, pauses for 3 seconds, then dials the last 4 digits.

If you want a pause longer than 3 seconds, press and hold * more than once. Each P represents a 3-second pause.

To program a wait:

Press and hold * until the letter W appears. The W means your phone waits before dialing further.

Creating Pauses and Waits

If you store 17035551235W1234, when you select this number and make a call, your phone dials the first 11 digits and then waits. A message appears asking if you want to send the rest of the digits.
