Dialing an Extension
Mar 27 2007, 6:12 AM EDT
aving just converted from a Blackberry, I am having a problem with dialing phone extensions.
I sync my contact database from ACT to the Windows Mobile 5 phone. When I dial a phone # I can select a contact , it dials the primary # but does not leave me any way to select the extension. the extension is listed next to the phone # i.e. (xxx)555-1212 x123, but when you dial it only dials the primary #. the Blackberry would pop up a menu to either skip the extension or dial it. Any help would be great, with over 12K contacts this one would really hurt. 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Use a P for a pause e.g.dial a number ppp142 - pause for a few seconds enough for it to ring and then pick up. you'll have to adjust the number of p's for the right pause length.

I have a P4000. I found that using a "p" was not helpful. However I did discover that using a comma "ex. 555-555-5555,123 worked. You'll have to adjust the number of commas to the number of rings until the line picks up. Therefore if number picks up after 4 rings, use 4 commas "ex. 555-555-5555,,,,123. Worked for me. 0 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I have the HTC Touch and tried using both approaches: (1) the 'p' character, and also (2) the comma symbol, but neither approaches work with my device. My device will not accept the comma sysmbol -- it actually automatically discards this symbol as a data character whenever I save it to the contact's phone number data field. The device also doesn't recognize the 'p' character and continues to wait for further manual input of the phone extension.1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

This worked like a champ for me I even set it up to go through phone menusEX: (123)456-7890pp7pp12345 one of my contacts requires you to press 7 if you know the extension and then enter the extension. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
