One touch dialing with waits and pauses... how to?

iudtuvm

Yup, 15 isn't much, but thanks to your tip, it has been enough to vastly reduce the number of keys I have to punch in. :j A phone upgrade is on my wishlist and I have so far found one that allows 32 digits.

I would benefit from also being able to doing all this (i.e. one touch dialling as described above) using a VOIP/online phone service so if anyone can provide pointers?

You might find your (or another) phone allows you to dial one number after another, eg

Press Memory 1 to dial into the system.

When it answers, press Memory 2 to enter usernumber, pause, pause, PIN

At the prompt press Memory 3 to enter the identification number/whatever you need to send.

Older BT landline phones such as Relate or Converse are usually fairly good for that. And go for next to nowt on ebay. The facility may be called chain dialling

Doing it on VoIP is slightly more complicated as software and systems vary about how the send the tones through the system - if they're just sent as whistly-noises like speech they can get unrecognisably distorted.

Yes, that's what I am doing now and it has vastly reduced the total number of keys I need to press.

It is always to helpful to have a technical term, thanks

I see what you mean
