    What would be the difference in setting the DTMF setting to long or short?

    Is there a benefit using one over the other?

    Thank you for any replies.

    I've not known that setting to have any impact on the actual length of
    tones generated. Why that setting even exists is beyond me.

    A few things in my calling pattern -- my own answering machine, my
    friend's pager -- require long tones.

    Is there any advantage to using short tones?

    Not that I'm aware of.

    There can be disadvantages to both. I have my phone set to short tones.
    I found that if I had it set to long tones and the network was
    clipping at the time I was dialing in a code or account number, it would
    detect the long tone as two digits.

    On the flip side if I had it set to short tones, and the network was
    clipping, it would not detect digits.

    I chose short tones because on average, it works better for me.
