Some phone services (such as phone answering machines and pagers) require your
phone to transmit DTMF tones (Dual Tone MultiFrequency), also known as "touch

dials the first part (the phone number) and then waits for the call to be connected
before sending the rest of the digits as DTMF tones. Any subsequent pause
character is an ordinary pause that generates a delay of 2.5 seconds.
Access your answering machine (example)
To hear all messages (e.g. code 3) on your answering machine (password 8421) at
phone number 12345678, you could call:
The phone dials 12345678 and waits for the call to be connected. When connected,
the phone transmits 8421 (the password), pauses 2.5 seconds, and then sends the
last digit. If you find that 2.5 seconds is not long enough for your needs, you can
enter several pause characters one after the other to increase the pause time.
Make a second call
You can make a second call during an active call or during a call on hold. You can
switch between the two calls (the cost displayed on the screen depends on local
charge rate).
