Controlling tone-based services You can use your phone for phone banking services or other tone-based services that use DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency). You can send tones during a call as follows: • Press the keypad keys during an active call. • Include a tone sequence when dialling. • Use digit sequences stored in Contacts entries. Always start a tone sequence with p and end it with a space. To include a 3-second pause in a tone sequence, use the letter p by pressing and holding a/A . To make it easier to use phone services, you can store tone sequences in fields in Contacts. See Adding a DTMF tone sequence on page 48. Calling cards There are two main types of calling cards: corporate and commercial cards. With a corporate card you can use your phone as a corporate phone, and get access to special services since all your calls pass through a corporate switchboard. A commercial calling card is either a "real" plastic card, containing number information, or just a phone number provided over the Internet. The calls you make pass through a calling card server, which usually allows you to make international phone calls at a lower cost. See Calling cards on page 76. More features The following Phone features are also available. These are described in more detail in the Control panel chapter: • Accept calls - set a caller filter. • Add to Contacts - add new contact data after a call. • Call waiting - call waiting alert option. • Divert calls - divert calls. • Flag call - follow up a rejected call later. • Handsfree - choose how to answer a call with a handsfree kit. • Reject with SMS - send an SMS text message automatically to a rejected caller. • Restrict calls - option to set roaming and international call restrictions. • Show or hide number - option to hide or show your number to the called party. • TTY settings - enable the use of a teletype writer. • Voicemail - this is your "answering machine". • ALS settings - you can have two phone numbers, billed separately, on your the SIM card. (This function need network operator support). • Call meter - keep track of the call costs.
