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

  • 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).
    (800) 123 4567 x 9999

  • How do you add an extension to a phone number in iCloud?

    I just attempted to edit a contact's business telephone by adding an extension to the end.
    Here's what the number looked like to start:  (212) 555-1234
    My goal:  (212) 555-1234 x101
    What resulted in iCloud when I hit save:  2125551234101
    I tried several different ways of formatting the addition of the extension, but none worked.  The results all ended up exactly the same.  Anyone have any insight as to how to make this work?
    Thanks much!

    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.

  • HT2486 How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

    How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

    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 extensionsmuch 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.

    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?

  • How do I add an extension to the phone number in Contacts.

    I want to add phone extensions to the main phone number in contacts.  How do I do it?

    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:

  • 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.

  • How can you add a where clause using "OR" with applied ViewCriteria?

    [JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
    [JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
    I am using JHeadstart, but have a question probably more in the ADF area. On the JHeadstart forum I asked:
    "I am overriding JhsApplicationModule's advancedSearch in order to be able to search in childtables. I created transient attributes, display those in advanced search and in the overridden method I check if any of these are filled by the user and create a where clause like 'EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>)'. I add this whereclause using ViewObject.setWhereClause.
    So far so good and it works. However, if the user selects 'Result matches any criteria', combining setWhereClause and the normal advancedSearch QueryByExample implementation using ViewCriteriaRow do not provide the desired result, since the ViewCriteria and the setWhereClause are AND-ed together, which is fine if the user selects the (default) "Results match all criteria" (everything is AND-ed) but not the "Result matches any criteria", since then every criterium is OR-ed together, except for the setwhereclause criteria and the set of ViewCriteriaRows, they are AND-ed.
    I looked if I could specify that a WhereClause will be OR-ed to existing applied ViewCriteria, but no luck. Do I have to rewrite also advancedSearch's ViewCriteria implementation and write an entire setWhereClause implementation to be able to "OR" every criterium? Or any other suggestions? Can I look at the entire Where clause and rewrite it (after applyCriteria and setWhereClause are called on the VO)?
    Toine"
    Sandra Muller (JHeadstart Team) told me today: "This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. The question is: how can you add a where clause using "OR" if there are already one or more ViewCriteria applied?
    To simplify the test case, you could create a simple ADF BC test client class in a test Model project without JHeadstart (in the test class, use bc4jclient + Ctrl-Enter), in which you first apply a few ViewCriteriaRows to a View Object and also add a where clause.
    Can you please log a TAR at MetaLink ( http://metalink.oracle.com/ ), or ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html ? (This what I am doing now ;-))

    Anyone knowing the answer or am I asking for an enhancement?

    Hi,
    Can you SET your whereclause as follows ?
    ('Y' = <isAnd>
    and EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
    OR ('N' = <isAnd>
    AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> OR <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
    )

  • How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

  • How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.
