(WAIT FOR PROMPT).

call to the phone number you entered.

[SEND]. CARD CALL appears on the display, then the phone prompts you
to wait for another tone or voice prompt (WAIT FOR PROMPT).

then continue with the call as you normally would.
Note: This procedure might not apply to all calling card options. For more
information, look at the back of your calling card or contact your
long distance carrier.
USING TOUCH-TONE SERVICES
To use your cellular phone to control answering machines and special
telephone services (such as bank-by-phone or voicemail), simply enter
touch tone commands using your phone's keypad after the service answers.
Or, you can store the service's command sequence in a speed-dial memory
(see "Storing a Number and Name in Memory" in Faxback Doc. # 46087), then
follow these steps after the service answers.
1. Recall the memory that contains the command sequence.
2. Press [MEMO] [SEND]. The phone sends the commands as touch tones.
ADDING A PAUSE
Some services, such as voicemail, require you to enter an access code then
pause before entering additional digits. To include a pause in a sequence
when storing it in memory, press [MENU] [#]. The phone displays p. When
you send the sequence, the phone pauses for 2-1/2 seconds where you
entered a pause. If you need a longer pause, enter multiple pauses, one
after the other.
ADDING A WAIT
If you do not know in advance how long you must wait before sending
additional commands, insert a wait in your sequence by pressing [MENU] [#]
[#] at the appropriate place. The phone displays W. When you send the
sequence, the phone waits for you to press [SEND] before it sends the rest
of the stored sequence.
PIN CODE DIALING
For security, some cellular service carriers require you to dial a
personal identification number (PIN) in addition to the phone number each
time you place a call. This is sometimes referred to as "PIN code
dialing."
Notes: This service is not required (or available) on all networks. Check
with your local service provider.
If you subscribe to this service, a PIN code is assigned or
selected at the time you activate your phone.
If you subscribe to PIN code dialing with your cellular carrier,
you can store the PIN code into your phone's memory and set the
phone to send the code at the press of a button when you place a
call.
Follow these steps to program your PIN code and turn PIN code dialing on
or off.
1. Enter [* ] [#] [7PQRS] [4GHI] [6MNO] [2ABC] [2ABC] [5JKL] [5JKL] [# ]
(this spells *PIN CALL #).
The phone prompts for your PIN CODE?).
2. To store your PIN code in the phone's memory and turn on PIN code
dialing, enter your PIN code (maximum of 4 digits), then press [OK].
PIN CALL ON appears briefly.
To turn off PIN code dialing, simply press [OK] without entering a
number. PIN CALL OFF appears briefly.
When PIN code dialing is set to ON, the phone displays PIN CALL, after you
press SEND to place a call. When you hear the tone, press [SEND] again to
automatically dial your stored PIN code.
Notes: When PIN code dialing is set to ON, you can place a call to the
emergency number programmed into your phone (as usual) without
sending the PIN code.
If you place a call using a cellular service that does not support
PIN code dialing (and PIN code dialing is set to ON), PIN CALL,
appears, but the call is connected without pressing [SEND] the
second time.
