Add a pause to contact phone number

I add a pause to a contact phone number than add the extension and save, the problem is that the iphone does not dial the number. Any idea?

Are you dialing from contacts/favorites or from an app? Apps cannot dial pauses.

  • How can you add an extension to a phone number

    How is it possible to add an extension to a phone number in contacts, so that when you call the number its extension direct  dials?

    To begin, determine which contact you want to add the phone extension to
    Then, in either your phone app or Contacts app, tap that contact
    Tap the "Edit" button at the top right of the contact
    Tap the phone number you want to add the extension to
    Tap the "+*#" button at the bottom left of the screen
    When the new options come up on the screen, you'll see a "pause" button at the bottom center. Tap that
    That will add a comma to the phone number. After the comma has been added to the phone number, type in the person's phone extension

  • HT2486 How do I add an extension to a phone number?

    Anyone know how to add an extension to a phone number in Address Book? And even better, how to create a pause when I call, so the extension is entered?

    From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
    Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensions much more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
    Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
    Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
    Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
    Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
    Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
    The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
    Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

  • How Do You Add An Extension For A Phone Number?

    I wanted to add an extension after the phone number for a contact, how do I do that?

    Hello:
    AS indicated, you would just add it after the last part of the number (in that box).

  • Maximum # of Characters for Contact Phone Number

    Anyone know what the maximum number of characters allowed, that will execute a call, within the contact phone number field for Rev 2.0?
    Past s/w revision I was able to enter up to 40 characters, inclusive of spaces and pauses (",").
    This now does not work, in fact it will not even try to dial the number.
    This is causing me problems since I use international access codes and pins for overseas dialing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Other threads discussing the issue of pauses, etc, suggest it isn't the length of the number that stymies the iPhone, but something about the pause itself. I believe it mattered whether the number was entered on the phone or the computer (I think enter it on the phone). Try a search on the general iphone forum for more discussion.

  • Trying to get the contact phone number on Verizon site and it is not working

    I am trying to call teh Customer Support number to discuss my Order, but when I go to the Contact Us page and click on the Call Us link, I get a pop-up asking for my zip code and then I am taken right back to the Contact US - no phone #'s given.   This feature worked when I used it last Friday during normal business hours.  
    I also tried the Live Chat link to see if I could engage a live person that way.   This time the link took me to a page that gave me the option of linking to the Support Knowledge base or accessing the automated customer support 'person' (which is just an FAQ interface).
    Help - how can I talk to a live person.    If live help (via phone or chat) is limited to certain hours, that should be posted.   user should not be given the virtual version of the run-around.
    Does anyone have the technical contact phone number for Maryland/DC region?

    1-800-VERIZON
    1-888-553-1555
    Both numbers feel like they hit the same place, and I know verizon has been consolidating all their numbers to the main one - so stick with that.

  • Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

    Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

    Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

  • Contact phone number for Customer Service Center in Wallingford CT

    Hello,
    Does anyone have a contact phone number for the customer service center in Wallingford, CT.  I sent them a letter back on May 17, 2014 and have not heard anything.  I called the general customer service phone number on June 7 to follow-up and they did not have any record of my letter being received or reviewed.  I have a major issue with Verizon cancelling my unlimited data in error and I am giving Verizon one last chance to work with me on this issue before I switch providers.  You would think that they would have the decency to at least respond to someone who has been a loyal customer for over 20 years and who has gone through the trouble of drafting a formal letter and mailing it (since nobody would give me an email address).  Please reply with any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Did you put in an inactive pricing request to restore the unlimited data within 14 days of the change? If you upgraded under contract then the data plan change would be valid.

  • HT4489 I am trying to import vcards, they are very simple - a name and contact phone number.  No pic, no ancillary information, but I get an error then directed to this completely unhelpful page.  The vcards are standard exports from another phone.

    Try creating the vCard with the app My Contacts Backup, email it to yourself, then open it on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts.

  • How do I add an extension to a phone number in Contacts 7.1?

    Now that the perfectly servicable Address Book has been replaced by overly complicated Contacts 7.1 in OS 10.8.3, I cannot add an extention to a telephone number. A phone number with an extention ends up looking like "4155551234ext3710484". Creating a new field named "ext" doesn't help, as any number entered into this field that is longer than 3 digits is autoformated to a phone number. Some of my contacts now have 6 digit extensions!
    Contacts Help is no help whatsoever. Very frustrating.

    From what I read, using a comma to separate the main number from the extension should work.  It inserts a pause, with each additional comma increasing the length of the pause.  So:
    4155551234,,3710484
    might be long enough for the automated system to pick up and reach the point where it'll accept the extension number.  If not, add more commas.
    Commas will also sync to your iPhone if you have one, and work as intended.

  • Adding an extension to contact phone number

    Is there a way to add an extension # somehow to a phone number in the contacts? I tried the "+" similar to a European number but that didn't work. For example if the number is 999-999-9999 can you add a Ext 999 or X 999, or similar, so it can be dialed after dialing the main #.
    Thanks.

    Yes - use a comma to denote a pause. If you are entering the number in your computer's address book, simply add a comma. If you are entering the number into a contact on the iPhone, tap the + * # button then tap pause. If you dialing the number on the phone, tap and hold the * key, which will insert a comma.
    For example, my voicemail number looks like (617) 123-4567,#,8888,999999 (where # is a prompt that I have a mailbox, 8888 is my extension, and the 9s are my password).

  • C2-03 TEXT MESSAGING INSERTING CONTACT PHONE NUMBE...

    I'm a celphone prepaid loader so I often refer to my phonebook  whenever I send a prepaid  load. In other nokia phone model to paste a contact person's name or phone number in the body of the text message all you need to do is choose "insert name" or "insert number" and I can't seem to find this feature in the c2-03 model. All I can find is "insert symbol" which would only allow you to insert special characters or smileys, whereas  "insert object" would allow you to add attachment.  This is a very important feature as it saves time to just import the information from the phonebook instead of inputting phone number right off the keypad.

    i am facing same problem... is there any another way to insert contacts in messages in c2-02 or c2-03?

  • Edit contact phone number

    One of my contacts changed her phone number, but Skype 6.-whatever won't let me remove the now wrong information.  I can add all the numbers I want, but I need to drop the incorrect phone number, and it won't let me.

    To whom it may concern.
    I inserted new phone numbers into few contacts on my list.
    These phone numbers are now obsolete, so I want to edit them with new ones; the contact person did not insert them at all. I can insert any number I want but cannot remove them. By the way, Skype has an option to Add phone number, why do not you provide an option to Remove phone number, it looks obvious. Skype is a very good product to use on the go, I like it very much, but when it comes to editing or changing contacts, removing old messages, it is a nightmare. Again, “removing old messages is another problem too. You can hide them but not remove/delete. Why isn't it friendlier with these two regards? More intuitive, I would say.
    For their own reasons (whatever they may be), Skype doesn't provide the ability to delete messages from your history beyond deleting the history itself.  In regards to editing/deleting numbers that still works fine for me as seen in this video.
