Interesting question for you guys

[bogu]

I just signed myself up with Primus so I can make long distance calls from my cellphone for pennies on a minute. The thing is, I have to dial an access number before I dial the actual number so there is about 25 digits I have to dial. I don't want to remember the whole thing but when I saved the full number in my contacts it won't go through because I have to wait for a dial tone after calling the initial access number. Is there any way I can save the number so it waits for a couple of seconds after dialing the access number before it dials the rest of it?

store in a number "w" - thats wait - 4 x "*"
one "w" is 1 sek

thanks, I'll try that

So, if I wanted to dial 1300 555 002 and wanted to press 3 after 6 seconds ... I'd put the contact number as:

1300555002wwwwww3

Is that right? And what does "*" do?

[bogu]

Follow up question, if "w" is for wait, what does "p" stand for?

[nk_au]

Where did "p" come from?

Mariuszek or anyone:
What do these stand for:
* = ???
w = wait
p = ???

[bogu]

P because p and w are the letters you get when you press * a few times.

[sidzzz]

P i am not sure what is stands but i think it should b pause.

it is more so for sending DTMF like i need to dial 200p1p1p9 to know the bill directly.

if i am dont put "p" than i have to dial 200 first than wait for operator and than dial 1 and than again operator and than 1 and than finally 9. so it saves time in listening the operator again and again.

[bogu]

so there's no difference between p and w?

[Mariuszek]

" * " - pres it 4 times and You will have "w"

w - wait -
123456wwwwww56441
thats dial 123456 wait 6 sek dial 56441

p - pause -
123456p56441
thats dial 123456 wait until any kay is presed dial 56441
