Saving touch tone strings

Touch tone strings can be used for sending and receiving information with your phone. Save touch tone strings the same way you save phone numbers (see ‘Saving names and numbers’ on page 19).

For example, you can save your office voice mailbox number along with your password for easy access to your messages (see ‘Special characters in phone numbers’ on page 12).
