Nokia 6188 Touch tones, Storing touch tone strings, Sending a touch tone string, During a call

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.

Storing touch tone strings

Store touch tone strings the same way you store phone numbers (see page 50).

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