Adding Pauses after dialing a number then dialing an extension automatically


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

ive just got this nifty thing set up and i dial my 0208 number then i have to press 1 then normally 324

but i cant press 1 till at least 5 secs after the number is dialled (the message has to finish) and then press 324 2 secs after that.

How does one make a contact on the Vario II which dials 0208 xxxxxxxx then waits 5 secs then dials 1 then waits 2 secs then dials 324 without me having to do all this everytime my self. As it is the same numbers and extensions everytime!!

any help appreciated

IIRC commas insert delays - not sure how long though so try

0208 xxxxxxxx,,, 1,324 adjusting the number of commas until you get it right.

I could be wrong.

Ok that works and doesnt work

I found that if i dial 0208 xxxxxxx ,,,1 then it dials 1 after the right amount of time. BUT the 1 DTMF tone is too short so is not picked up by the other end.

If i press 1 on the keypad the dtmf tone is a lot longer about 3-4X longer and so is picked up the other end. is there a way of making the tone longer for the press 1 then press 342 etc etc

I tried this as well on Vario II to call a conference call number with no success.

Am I missing something?

from what I read in this thread, using the standard contacts app. u can set up the above. I dont need a different piece of software right?

To dial "Amount of Credit Remaining" on T-Mobile, via a C600, I use the phone 'number' 150ppppp112 This gives me a five second delay before it dials the 112 component of the number, enough time for the lady to stop yakking and for the input prompt sequence to start...

I don't know how universal the use of 'p' (pause) is but I seem to remember using it a long time ago on a Nokia 7650, when dialling Orange services, so it may be worth experimenting with.

I just tried setting the number as 150w112 and discovered that after dialling 150, it waits untill I press the 'action' key before it dials 112... You learn something new every day, eh? :rolleyes:

Apparently there is a registry key setting for DTMF on or off. I might be able to dig it out for you although changing it doesn't make much difference? Haven't confirmed that for myself though.
