    i use an 800 number to access an overseas calling service
    it then recognizes my cell phone number so i don't need to punch in any
    account info
    i think there is a 5 to 10 second wait after the 800 number answers before i
    can punch in the overseas number
    how do i automate this on my phone so i don't have to manually dial the
    overseas number
    thanks

    Re: v3 - how to chain calling card calls

    Dial the 800 number and press menu to add Pauses or a Wait and then dial
    the overseas number and press STORE. A pause is 2 seconds so you'll
    have to add a string of them but once you have it right it's fully
    automatic. A Wait requires you to press Send again to continue the dial
    string.

    8005552368ppppppp+632919812345 would call the 800 number, pause for 14
    seconds and then dial the rest of the numbers with DTMF (touch-tones).

    8005552368w+632919812345 dials the 800 number and waits. When you hear
    the prompt from your calling card carrier, you press send to dial the
    rest of the numbers with DTMF.

    If you call more than one overseas number you can use an N instead of
    the phone number and the phone will prompt you to select a number from
    the Phonebook.
    8005552368wn or 8005552368pppppppn

    To get to the p, w & n, press & hold the * button or press the Menu
    button.

    I don't know why Motorola doesn't include these instructions in the
    manual or on their website anymore. The only people that seem to know
    about this are old farts like me who've been using Moto phones for 20
    years. BTW, Moto has been amazingly consistent (or just lazy) in keeping
    the same menu structure in place for all these years.

    Hope this helps.

    thanks Bruce
    i sort of remember the pauses but not the others

    i can enter the w in my edit screen but when i save the number the w
    disappears.
    any ideas

    i just put in 4 p's and those survived the edit screen so i might just use
    those instead and adjust the number of p's with experimentation

    by the way all i had to do was hold the star key until the correct symbol
    appeared.
    didn't need the menu button

    thanks

    Re: v3 - how to chain calling card calls

    IIRC, the 'w' will only work if you store the number to the phone - not
    to the SIM. I just tried it on my v3i and I was able to save it to the
    Phonebook and then use it with no problem.
