adding pauses to phone numbers

[Mito1970]

hey, love my treo.. 3rd day.
Was wondering how to add a pause to a contact's phone number, like when you need to press a "#" and then the extension of somone office number.

Use a comma between the numbers.

[Mito1970]

all the keys besides the numbers are disabled so i can't put a comma in the contact's phone number

I've put them in my voicemail and other numbers. Don't know what the issue is there.

well when I am inputing a phone number in the phone field you can press the numbers in the keypad without problemm but when i try to press any other key besides the black number ones... nothing happens... it is like it only accepts the numbers to be pressed.

I have been having the same problem. Is it a setting maybe?

I put the comma's in via my desktop email app or with Pocket Informant since the built in contact app won't let me.

I did it... funny now when i dial the number with the commas the treo doesn't recignize it and asks to add it.. i just will ignore that quirk.

thanks!!

mito,

go to menu--> speed dial options-->select voicemail--> menu again-->edit-->advanced--.then type a comma follwed immediately by your password in the extra digit section

remember each comma adds a 1 sec pause (i used 2 commas)
and put a # at the end
check "dial extra digits automatically"

it worked great for me

I can do that for my speedial contacts, but not with the contact not in the speedial.
thanks for the advice though
