Call an extension by adding a pause
This is one of the very minor, yet very useful tip that I have come across. I use calling cards a lot to call other countries which require dialing a number and then waiting for the call to go through and then entering my pin number and then the actual number that I am calling. If you do this frequently, it can be pretty frustrating.
This was the solution to the problem. Enter the number you are going to call and then use a “,” for a pause. Each “,” gives you around a couple of seconds delay before dialing the next number. Use as many commas as you need to and then save it.
This works for extensions too. Depending on the phone you have, you might have to use other characters like “;” . I edit my contacts and add a new number with the pauses and then add it as a direct dial.
Refer to this post to save it directly as a direct dial if you need quick access to it.
