Nokia 918 - Sending DTMF (“Touch”) Tones

Sending DTMF (“Touch”) Tones

Your phone is a “Touch Tone” phone. Touch Tones are
the sounds your phone makes when you press the
keys. Touch Tones can be used for many automated
phone services such as checking your bank balance
and using voice mailbox options.

Touch Tones are called “DTMF” (Dual Tone Multi
Frequency) tones in the phone.

Manually Sending Touch Tones

Pressing the keys during call sends Touch Tones.

1) Make a call in the usual way (e.g. to your bank's

computer phone number).

2) Manually enter the digits to be sent as DTMF tones

(e.g., your bank account number and password).

Automatically Sending Touch Tones

To automatically send Touch Tones, store the DTMF
sequence after the access phone number (separated by
a “wait” character). Store “waits” or “pauses” between
DTMF digits to be sent (a “pause” cannot be stored as
the first special character).

For details on storing “pause” and “wait” characters,
see “Storing Pause and Wait Characters” on page 18.

Here is an example of a number you could store in your
phone. This number contains a phone number
(18005551212), a wait character, an access number
(“1234”), a wait character, and a password (“3434”).
