Hi guys-tried looking online but conflicting answers. G/F has an 'overide' number to call France (credit loaded on (only 1p a min!)...but a big long pin has to be entered-impossible to memorise. She 'could' write it down & keep in phone wallet but she's concerned with security issues.

Is there anyway a 3-6 second 'pause' can be programmed into number in phones memory with pin afterwards......be a lot easier if 1 button to press & no scrabbling about for bits of paper lol!

Any ideas kind people?

Dont know of a way.

What about using a sticky label on the back of the phone with the pin number on.

From memory, it used to work by pressing and holding * on the keyboard, it will show as a , in the number and leave a pause. If it’s not long enough try doing it twice to double the space.

Edit

A quick google seems to indicate it does still work.

You can use , or p in the number for a 2 second pause.
