Touch tones

known as touch tones. Use touch tones to access many automated, over-
the-phone services such as voice mail, checking airline arrival/departure
times, and bank balances.

SAVE TOUCH TONE STRINGS
A touch-tone string is a series of tones in a certain sequence. Use touch
tone strings to send and receive information with your phone. For example,
you can save your office voice mailbox number along with your password
for easy access to your messages.
Store touch tone strings the same way you save phone numbers (see “Save
names and numbers” on page 30).
For frequently used strings of numbers, you can save an entire sequence
of digits in your phone book and send it as a touch tone string.
