Is it possible to introduce a pause into a speed dial? I host conference calls that require passcodes. I am programming in the call in numbers as speed dials today. It would be handy to program the number, then create a pause (allow the conf system to answer the call and prompt for the pass code) and then have the unit input the passcode and a #. (in the systems I access the passcodes vary in length, no automatic entry when you get the code correct. They require the # to represent "enter") I dont see it in the book so I experimented and tried a few characters with no luck. I have seen it where a comma might represent a 1.5 second pause, so you can stack up the commas to obtain as long a pause as is required. The pass codes has to be fed through as normal touch tones (dtmf?) regardless if using PSTN or google voice.
Each Speed dial would need to be able to handle at least 25 digits length. 3 system select - (**
+ 11 digit number (allows a 1 prefix when using the PSTN) + 3 (pause characters) + 7 digit passcode + 1 ("#") to enter. I have only ever seen the # key used. Since Obihai uses the * key in its handset interface I am guessing that a pause can only be programmed in Obitalk, not possible to input on a handset since no key is available to represent the pause.
I never counted these before. No wonder I often need to dial these things twice - i need to punch 25 keys.
