Send touch tones

When you press the keys during a call, your phone generates sounds
known as touch tones. Use touch tones to access many automated, over-
the-phone services such as voice mail, checking airline arrival/departure
times, and bank balances.

Note:

You must be on an active call to send touch tones.

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.
