Save touch tone strings

A touch-tone string is a series of tones in a certain sequence. Use touch tone strings to send and receive information with your phone. For example, you can save your office voice mailbox number along with your password for easy access to your messages.

Store touch tone strings the same way you save phone numbers (see “Save names and numbers” on page 28).

For frequently used strings of numbers, you can save an entire sequence of digits in your phone book and send it as a touch tone string.
