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 mail- box options. Touch tones can be sent only when a call is active.

Storing touch tone strings

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.

Store touch tone strings the same way you store phone numbers (see page 51).

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