Touch tones

Your phone can generate various sounds, called touch tones, when the keys are pressed. These are also known as DTMF tones.

Touch tones can be used for many automated, over- the-phone services such as checking bank balances, airline arrival and departure times, and using voice mailbox options. Touch tones can be sent only when a call is active.

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