handsfree phone question

Hi Fred!! I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you..... obviously your post is not being ignored, as it appears over 100 have viewed it, so I assume they don't have an answer for you either. I just wanted to give you some kind of a response, so you'll know you're not invisible.

Maybe *hobbit or DocVijay will read this and respond with an answer........ good luck! B)

It may be useful when the number answers with a message which asks you to dial an extension number and you know that number. Hope this helps.

You may be better served by looking in your cellphone manual.

I use an LG VX8600 Bluetooth cellphone with my Pri. The cellphone allows me to add a "pause" in the middle, and/or end, of a phone number string. I have two pause options: "W" = wait until I press a button to continue, or "P" = a standard 2-second pause. The pause is indicated by either a "W" or "P" embedded in the number string. I use the pause feature to check my voice mail at work.

The contact number theoretically should be transferable to the car's phone book. Since any calls originated by the car are routed through the cellphone, the pause should still work.

While I have had success in transferring a contact with a pause in the number, it shows up in the car's phone book as a little p, rather than a capital P, which apparently doesn't work when dialed by the car. If I use the cellphone to dial the number, in the car and after the Bluetooth connection is established, the call is then handled by the car's speaker and microphone and the pause works fine. Go figure.

There may be a work around using the car's settings and "registering speed tones", but the English translation in the car manual leaves a lot to be desired. Hope this helps.

My LG8600 phone still works flawlessly by itself, or in the car. No worries. Best cell phone yet in over 10 years. D.L.

The wait function is used pretty much for calling voicemail. You program the number, the a wait signal, then the code you use to access voicemail. So your number ends up looking something like this

310-555-1212w123456

In this case, the first part is the number, then the phone waits for the voicemail to answer, then you send the follow-up code.

To actually send the code, you need to wait for the other side to answer, then hit the "0-9" button on the screen and a new screen appears that allows you to either enter numbers, or there is a "send" button. Hit the "send" button and it sends whatever you have programmed after the "w".

I hope this helps.
