Adding Pauses to Phone Numbers

[J David]

So I have this conference call bridge for work, and the way to dial in is first the 800 number, then wait a quick second for this stupid message to tell you to put in your pin, then actually dial the pin, and then press pound. I think it used to be that you put a comma in the number, and that would invoke a pause. Anyone figure out how to do this in 8.1? I don't see a comma in the dialer and/or am being dumb and just can't figure it out.

With 8 I put the number in Word like I wanted it and copied/paste.

The comma is still there and at the same place as 8.0. Just hold the "dot" till you see more options the comma should be there. I personally put 2 commas for my extensions.

Man.. somedays I think my brain is on vacation.

I used an iPhone for years... (hope I don't get booted for saying that!).. and despite that being the same on an iPhone (long pressing on things) I am not sure why I never though of it on this nice 640XL I am loving'....

This is a handy thing to do for adding you password to your Voicemail phone number too.. and ya.. two commas gives a better delay to account for delays in the cell phone communication.....I think each is about 1.5 sec?

Thanks!
