• USE TOUCH TONES
Warning!
If you send touch tones while in analog mode, be careful not to send
confidential information. Check your phone’s display for the
icon, indicating
the presence of a digital network.
Touch tones (sometimes known as DTMF tones) are those tones produced when you press the
keys on your phone’s keypad. You can use touch tones for many automated dial-up services such
as banking and airlines, or for entering your voice mailbox number and password.
Touch tones are sent during an active call. You can send them manually from your phone’s
keypad, or send them automatically by saving them in your phone.

You may need to customize how your phone sends the touch tones for optimum performance
