I think she means when you have to choose from a menu: 1 for this and 2 for that., but yes, that comma for extensions is mighty handy. -Original Message- From: Kimber Gardner Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 11:00 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: making a phone call working with an automated system If they are the same numbers every time (like an extension), you can place commas or semicolons in the contact.

Re: making a phone call working with an automated system
Thanks so much. I am doing something wrong though. I am not getting a prompt to double tap or anything. In my contacts, I entered the complete number followed by a comma, then a one, then a semicolon, then my string of numbers. I did not insert any spaces. When I try to make the phone call, the call is connected, there is a pause, then the iPhone dials one and then I get nothing after that. I tried a one finger double tap in the middle of the screen but nothing seems to happen. Thanks for any further tips, I appreciate it.

Re: making a phone call working with an automated system
it's because you have to hide your keypad in order to see the prompt to enter the numbers after the semicolon. Without hiding your keypad, you will not see this prompt. The prompt can then be found at the lower right of your phone. HTH, Sharonda On 6/22/12, Christina blindmaclo...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks so much. I am doing something wrong though.

RE: making a phone call working with an automated system
A while ago there was a post on the list about using automated response units. If the things you need to input are the same each time, you can do the following: In the phone number field put the phone number then a semicolon, then the next set of numbers... And continue this . I used it for my bank where I need the phone number, account number, social security number. The phone prompts me each time the next set of numbers is needed. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Godwin Adoyi Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 11:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: making a phone call working with an automated system Hi, Check your sound volume in Settings sound.
