Hi,
Does anyone know how to call a number and insert a pause in it?
I mean calling a number like +44 (make pause)7716(make pause)123456789
I tried to insert some "standard" character like , w p * # () but windows mobile does not recognize the numer as valid.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Cheers,
Mats

Where ever you need a pause use one of these (,) not including the brackets. It wont work from the direct dialer but you can use it as a number stored in contacts

Well.. Banking via phone for one thing..
1. Call bank
2. Press account number
3. Press password
4. Press "2" to check how much you've got..

That's an awfull lot of numbers..
With a pause, one can just store the number on the phone.
As for security; maybe not so smart..

But that is just one possible use for a pause..

ah that makes sense

one can have the calling card number too
dial access number, pause pause, dial passcode, pause pause, dial number

is there no calling card number utility in the xda?

if there isnt any way, can i dial two number in succession.

i mean the first bunch of numbers (access number pause pause, dial passcode, pause pause

seond bunch of numbers - regular international destination
