Nokia 6160 manual Storing touch tone strings, Sending a touch tone string

Storing touch tone strings

Touch tone strings can be used for sending and receiving information with your phone. For example, you can store your office voice mailbox number, along with your password for easy access to your messages.

Store touch tone strings the same way you store phone numbers (see page 48).

You can store a whole digit sequence in your phone book and send it as touch tones for frequently-used strings of numbers.

Sending a touch tone string

Make sure Menu 4 2 3 1 (Settings - Phone settings - Touch tones - Manual touch tones) is not set to Off.

1.During a call, press Options

2.Scroll to Touch tones and press OK

3.Enter touch tone string or recall string from the phone book and press OK

Note: Use caution when sending confidential information over the air when using DTMF tones in analogue mode.

Storing touch tone strings with phone numbers

1.Enter the phone number (e.g. your office voice mailbox)

2.Press ∗∗∗ (p) or ∗∗∗∗ (w)

3.Enter the touch tone string (e.g. voice mailbox password)

4.Store the number as you normally would

Note: See “Special Characters (for storing numbers)” on page 35 for details on “p” and “w” characters.

When you dial this number, your phone first dials the phone number, then waits (because of the “w” character) for you to press Send. Your phone then sends your password.

If you include a “p” character instead of a “w”, your phone pauses for 2.5 seconds, then automatically sends your password as touch tones.
